Thirty-six foot self-righting motor lifeboat

The thirty-six foot boat is in a wooden building. The boat sits on a low wheeled cradle that is on rails.

Many lifeboat stations were assigned the venerable thirty-six foot self-righting motor lifeboat as the primary rescue craft. CG 36528 was assigned to Grand Marais with a crew of four. These boats had a two ton keel which would right them in heavy waves. Divided into three sealable compartments, they could hold a total of 40 people including crew. The motor lifeboats were constructed in Curtis Bay, Maryland and were used for many years on both coasts and the Great Lakes. CG 36528 is now on display in the boathouse at Sand Point, which once served as the Munising motor lifeboat station.
