Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat CG-36500 is a historic 36-foot lifeboat berthed at Rock Harbor in Orleans, Massachusetts.[3]

The boat was built in 1946 and added to the National Historic Register in 2005.

On 18 February 1952, the crew of CG-36500, which consisted of Boatswains Mate First Class Bernard C. Webber (coxswain), Engineman Third Class Andrew Fitzgerald, Seaman Ervin Maske, and Seaman Richard P. Livsey,[4] rescued 33 of 34 crewmen trapped aboard the tanker SS Pendleton, which had broken in half in a storm off Chatham, Massachusetts.[5] The rescue of the survivors of the shipwrecked Pendleton is considered one of the most daring rescues of the United States Coast Guard.[6]

In November 1981, the Cape Cod National Seashore deeded the boat to Orleans Historical Society and a restoration started by a group of volunteers from Chatham, Orleans, and Harwich, Massachusetts.[7] Restoration work was completed in six months and the boat was re-launched in a public ceremony that was attended by Bernard Webber and his wife.[8]
