CG36500 LIFEBOAT HOUSE PROJECT
Time To Move The CG36500
To A Special Place of Its Own
The 36500’s active-duty service has come and gone now, but it and its incredible story live on. For more than 40 years, the Orleans Historical Society/CHO has had the honor of restoring, operating and preserving this treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Now the CHO has the duty to see it better protected and preserved to inspire many generations to come.
Jay Stradal and John Sinopoli of the Orleans Historical Society speak about the 1952 Pendleton rescue, the saving of the famous CG36500 lifeboat itself, and future plans for its permanent preservation. This virtual event was presented by the U.S. Lighthouse Society on 5/6/25.
The VISION of the CHO (Orleans Historical Society) is to bring history and culture to life, thus inspiring a shared sense of community and pride in the rich heritage of Orleans.
