The Society is also the proud owner and caretaker of the Coast Guard Rescue Boat 36500, which rescued 32 men from the tanker "Pendleton" during a fierce storm in 1952. This boat is docked at Rock Harbor, Orleans, during the summer months and may be seen and boarded by the public. The Motor Lifeboat CG36500 is nothing short of a floating museum. Built in 1946, she performed admirably during her years of service at the Chatham, Massachusetts Lifeboat Station. Come view the memorabilia and read the story of an incredible night on the high seas off Chatham back in 1952.   At the Orleans Yacht Club, September 2005 for the celebration of being listed on National Register of Historic Places. Photo by Joe Mault, Jr. |
