Famous CG36500 At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod

The famous CG36500 is out of the water and on the grounds at Rock Harbor. It looks like it might be waiting for some work or maybe to be moved. The past few years it has wintered at the dock at Nauset Marine by Meetinghouse Pond.

If you don’t know the story of the CG36500, it is worth doing some research as it is just amazing. If you haven’t seen the Disney movie, “The Finest Hours,” try to find it. It is an unbelievable true story of  the CG36500 rescuing the the crew from a sinking ship off of Chatham.

We are so privileged to have this boat in our harbor. It has so many stories to tell and so much local history.

Captain Cass At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod Is Getting A Makeover!.

There’s some good-looking work going on at Captain Cass in Orleans. You can see the trucks as the workers are busy painting, replacing and renovating the famous “Captain Cass Restaurant.”

It is so exciting! Rumor has it that there are new owners and  will open in the spring of 2023. Captain Cass is a classic New England seafood shack that is a favorite with both tourists and locals.

Can’t wait to see you in the spring!

The CG36500 Is Docked At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod.

The CG36500 is the famous Coast Guard boat that was depicted in the Disney movie, The Finest Hours, because of its incredible rescue of 32 crewmen from a sinking ship off of the coast of Cape Cod in 1952.

During the summer you can go on board and see where those 32 crewmen survived. It is worth the trip just to see the boat. If you haven’t watched the movie, put that on your list too! It’s truly amazing!
