Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat CG-36500 is a historic, 36-foot lifeboat that is berthed at Rock Harbor in Orleans, Massachusetts.[3] Built in 1946, it is notable for its involvement in the SS Pendleton rescue, one of the most daring such events recorded in the history of the United States Coast Guard. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005,[2] and now serves as a museum boat. CG-36500 is a standard 36-foot lifeboat, a vessel specifically designed to remain operational under extremely difficult conditions. It has a heavy keel and skeg, watertight compartments, and self-bailing features. Most of its wooden elements are white oak, and it has a total weight of nearly 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg). The boat was built in 1946 at the Curtis Bay Maryland Coast Guard Yard, where all 36-footers were built.[4] On 18 February 1952, the crew of CG-36500, which consisted of Boatswain's Mate First Class Bernard C. Webber (coxswain), Engineman Third Class Andrew Fitzgerald, Seaman Ervin Maske, and Seaman Richard P. Livesey,[5] rescued 32 of 33 crewmen trapped on the stern section of the tanker SS Pendleton, which had broken in half in a storm off Chatham, Massachusetts.
(The ship's eight other crew members, including Captain John Fitzgerald, were on the bow section when it broke off and sank.)[6] The rescue of the survivors of the shipwrecked Pendleton is considered one of the most daring rescues of the United States Coast Guard.[7] The story is told in the 2016 motion picture The Finest Hours, based on the 2009 book by the same title. The boat was taken out of service in 1968, and was given to the National Park Service for use as an exhibit at Cape Cod National Seashore. In November 1981, the Park Service, which had not effected any significant restoration work on the vessel,[4] deeded it to the Orleans Historical Society, and a restoration started by a group of volunteers from Chatham, Orleans, and Harwich, Massachusetts.[8] 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.

Even as a child, volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officer, Kevin Paterson had a love for LEGO, and this, along with his passion for social media, inspired him to create The Coastguard Team, made up of his favourite little yellow toys. Now, this unit of four centimetre tall ‘wee guys’ have a healthy following across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where they promote their coastal safety message to younger and older fans alike. Paterson, who for the last seven years has been with the Ardrossan Coastguard Rescue Team in Ayshire, south west Scotland, says when he started the project in late 2014 he had no idea where it would go. “It quickly gained a lot of support from around the country and has developed into what it is today.
The team, affectionately known as the ‘wee guys’, has quite a significant following now and it continues to grow on a daily basis,” he says. See the gallery of The Coastguard Team at work below Paterson believes the team’s impact is “both positive and well received”. He says that during the recent severe storms, which battered many parts of the country, some of the safety messages “from the ‘wee guys’ were getting literally hundreds of retweets”. Although the world’s smallest Coastguard Rescue Team is a personal project for Paterson, he has been fully supported by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, with assistance from its Southampton Press Office. The ‘wee guys’ have also visited many real-life Coastguard Rescue Teams and Search and Rescue helicopter crews. “A relatively new trend which has emerged is real-life Coastguards taking selfies with the ‘wee guys’ which is brilliant,” explains Paterson. “It’s now at the stage where individual teams are contacting us asking if it would be possible for the ‘wee guys’ to schedule a visit while out on their adventures around the country.”
Trips have also been paid to their RNLI LEGO counterparts, The Lifeboat Crew who promote the charity and its awareness work. The two teams met up last year in the Scottish town of Tignabruiach. wanted to know if there was rivalry between them. “Just like in the real world, the ‘wee guys’ in The Coastguard Team and the ‘little guys’ in The Lifeboat Crew work closely together and get along great,” states Paterson. “The two teams have slightly different styles of how we approach things but we are both aiming towards the same goal of promoting coastal safety and the organisations being represented”. Rumour has it that they will be meeting again sometime this summer. Paterson explained that the safety message from The Coastguard Team depends on the time of the year and what’s happening in terms of real-world callouts around the country. During the winter, the focus was on keeping away from exposed costal areas in rough weather, especially as the news “was full of videos and pictures of the public trying to get a closer look at the massive waves”.
Now the better weather is approaching the focus will be on the key water safety messages and general advice for staying safe when at the beach. “The one key message which the ‘wee guys’ are promoting all year round is ensuring that people know to dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard in a coastal, beach or cliff emergency,” stresses Paterson. As well as photographs, small stop animation video clips are also being used to get the safety messages across. Seaside Safety, a free downloadable digital comic featuring The Coastguard Team has also been launched just in time for the summer. “It’s my hope that parents will sit down with their kids and go through each edition of Seaside Safety on their tablets or computers meaning everyone can learn from the content,” says Paterson. So, what is next for The Coastguard Team? “Holiday season is coming up so plans are well underway for the ‘wee guys’ to load up their LEGO campervan and get out around the country again to visit as many real-world Coastguard teams as possible,” states Paterson.
