Thirty-six footer Grand Marais - Public Domain image, National Parks Gallery
Summary
Many lifeboat stations were assigned the thirty-six foot self-righting motor lifeboat as the primary rescue craft. CG 36528 was assigned to Grand Marais. These boats had a two ton keel which would right them in heavy waves. CG 36528 is now on display in the boathouse at Sand Point, which once served as the Munising motor lifeboat station.
