CHATHAM, Mass. - (Left to right) A Coast Guard 42-foot motor lifeboat, 36-foot motor lifeboat and 44-foot motor lifeboat gather in front of Coast Guard Station Chatham Friday, Oct. 3, 2008, for what will probably be the last opportunity for the three lifeboats to ever be underway together again. The 36-foot lifeboat, which is now owned by the Orleans Historical Society of Orleans, Mass., is scheduled for dry dock, and the maintenance may not be completed before the 44-foot lifeboat is decommissioned. The most notable rescue by the 36 was in 1952 when the boat crew rescued 32 men from the tanker Pendleton after it broke in half in 60-foot seas.
