The CG36500 is back at Rock Harbor and ready for people to see. It has quite the story of rescue:
“The CG 36500 is a historic 36-foot U.S. Coast Guard motor lifeboat famous for its role in the 1952 rescue of the SS Pendleton crew, is a story detailed in The Finest Hours. Built in 1946, this rugged, self-righting wooden vessel is known for its heavy construction, including a bronze keel, designed to withstand severe conditions, and is now a restored, operational museum boat maintained by the Orleans Historical Society in Massachusetts.”
“Brotherhood is the very price and condition of man’s survival. —Carlos P. Romulo”
