It was just about 6:00 am, and the tide was coming in, when the fishing boats at Rock Harbor revved  up their engines and headed out through the channel to Cape Cod Bay for a few hours of fishing. This boat, Triton, was the first one out of the harbor.

I loved how the rising sun shone on the historic CG36500 the other morning. So pretty!

“Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat CG-36500 is a historic, 36-foot lifeboat that is berthed at Rock Harbor in Orleans, Massachusetts. Built in 1946, it is notable for its involvement in the 1952 SS Pendleton rescue, one of the most daring such events recorded in the history of the United States Coast Guard.”

If you’ve never seen the CG36500, it’s worth the visit to hear its story. And watch Disney’s movie, The Finest Hour, which tells the story of this daring rescue.
