44ft Motor Lifeboats

U.S. Coast Guard 44300 - 44349

Number Built 110
(44328 was sold to Britain, 44353 to Canada, and 44337 and 44338 to Italy)

This amazing photo was taken by Vernon T. Williams, and is of the U.S. Coast Guard boats, USCG 44393 (left) and USCG 44363 (right) in 1992, at Quillayute River.

On the 12th February 1997, USCG 44363 together with three of her four crew members was tragically lost while trying to rescue the crew of a sailing boat at Quillayute River.

The crew where:

Boatswain's Mate Second Class David Bosley, 36.
Machinery Technician Third Class Matthew Schlimme, 24.
Seaman Clinton Miniken, 22.
Seaman Apprentice Benjamin Wingo, 19, survived the accident.


If you can help me with any of the missing photos or can add to the displayed information, I would be pleased to hear from you.
