The Coast Guard regards Lewis as one of its most famous members, although she served in the agency's predecessor named the U. S. Lighthouse Service. She took over as keeper of the Lime Rock Light Station after her father, who had been the keeper, died in 1872, according to the Ida Lewis Yacht Club. The yacht club now uses the lighthouse as its clubhouse on the same island, which was renamed after Lewis. Lewis is famous for her many rescues, which put her on the cover of Harper's Weekly in 1869 and in other newspapers and magazines. One of her more famous rescues, the Coast Guard notes, came in 1881, when she rescued two soldiers who fell through the ice. She earned the Gold Lifesaving Medal for the act.
