1946 Steel Lifeboat Welin Davit & Boat Corporation 22 Foot Sail Boat w/Trailer

Description

This 22' steel lifeboat was manufactured by Welin Davit & Boat Corporation on Mar 11, 1946. A davit is a machine used to hold and lower lifeboats on and off a ship. Welin davits were popularized after the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic, upon which Welin Davits and Lifeboats were used.
This lifeboat has an all steel hull. 2 weathered wooden seats remain on the boat, with 4 additional pairs of seating brackets. The outside of the hull is painted white, while the inside is painted bright orange with chipping paint, revealing the metal below. A mechanism used to disconnect and connect the boat from a davit is fixed to the floor and spans the length of the boat. This boat has a capacity of 25 persons. Commonly, these lifeboats are repaired, refurbished, and converted into sailing vessels.
Condition: Very good for age and use. The finish shows expected scuffs, scrapes, paint loss and dings. Currently, the hull has a few rust holes that will need repaired.
There is a little damage on one side. (See in photo)
Weight: 1620 lbs.
