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.”

The famous boat, the CG36500, is all snug at the dock by Meetinghouse Pond. And during these cold winter months would be a great time to watch the popular Disney film, The Finest Hours, and learn all about the daring rescue that this boat is so famous for. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Wow! What a feat! Have you ever seen The Finest Hours?  You can also tour the boat and learn all about its history at its summer home at Rock Harbor.
