CG Lifeboat
Coast Guard Lifeboat CG-36538

U-Twp. Historical Society April 12th program
on Coast Guard Lifeboat CG-36538 Restoration
   Members and friends of the Historical Preservation Society of Upper Township will meet Tuesday, April 12, 2022, 7 pm, for a special program about the restoration of the Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat CG-36538.
   The meeting will be held at the Upper Township Wellness / Senior Center, 1369 Stagecoach Rd., Ocean View NJ 08230
   This is the second in-person meeting for the Society’s 2022 program year.
   Please RSVP with the Society’s April 12th Eventbrite page > https://UpperTwpHistory.eventbrite.com
   There is no charge for this program. Please note that this is an in-person event and Zoom capability will not be available.
Program:
The Cape May Maritime Museum is dedicated to preserving the United States Coast Guard and commercial maritime history of the Cape May, NJ area.
Cape May Maritime Museum’s current undertaking is the tedious restoration of the Motor Lifeboat CG-36538 by a dedicated group of skilled volunteers. The goal is to maintain the historical accuracy, design and look of the original motor lifeboat and to also make it seaworthy. The lifeboat is presently located in an indoor facility in the Cape May, NJ area and is open to the public for guided tours by appointment.
History:
   The Motor Lifeboat CG-36538 was constructed in 1952 and remained in service until 1972. This TRS type boat was the last wood-hulled coastal lifeboat developed by the United States Coast Guard and the first to use laminated wood. The CG-36538 served at the Atlantic Beach Station in New York and then at the Ocean City Station in New Jersey. During its tenure at the Great Harbor Inlet Station, from 1966 through 1972, the lifeboat was used primarily for winter rescues as well as winter assistance calls.
   Cape May Maritime Museum volunteers have reported that the boat was found tucked in the corner of a Navy warehouse in Yorktown, VA and is one of only a handful still in existence. Records show it was built at a shipyard in Curtis Bay, MD [Baltimore].
   For additional information about the boat, see the Cape May Maritime Museum > www.cmmaritime.org
   See the HPSUT website for details on future monthly programs. > www.uppertwphistory.org
