It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1] It is one of two known surviving examples of its kind, one of the first type of coastal rescue craft used.[3] HistoryThe Francis Metallic Surfboat was designed by Joseph Francis, an inventor who specialized in inventing and constructing maritime lifesaving equipment. Francis constructed 137 of these vessels from about 1849 to 1857, of which 48 were used on the Great Lakes.[2] This particular boat dates from approximately 1854, and was in use from 1854 until at least 1863. It was originally stationed near the mouth of the Kalamazoo River.[3] The vessel gradually deteriorated until the 1930s, after which its remains were put into storage. In about 2006, volunteers from the Saugatuck-Douglas Historical Society (SDHS) restored the boat. In 2011, the Society constructed a dedicated building in Douglas to display the vessel.[4] The boat remains on display in the building in Douglas.[3] DescriptionThe Francis Metallic Surfboat is a 26-foot vessel with as six-foot beam. The hull is made of iron. The boat was constructed built using an innovative metal fabricating technique invented by Joseph Francis. The boat is an example of a distinctly American type of rescue craft known as the "pulling" surfboat, which is designed to be pulled through the water by oars, rather than propelled by a sail or motor.[3] References1. ^1 {{citation | title = WEEKLY LIST OF ACTIONS TAKEN ON PROPERTIES: 4/20/15 THROUGH 4/24/15 | date = May 1, 2015 | publisher = National Park Service | url = https://www.nps.gov/nr/listings/20150501.htm}} 2. ^{{citation | title = Francis Metallic Surfboat | publisher = Michigan Markers | url = http://www.michmarkers.com/detail.asp?txtID=S0742}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{citation | title = Francis Metallic Surfboat, one of two of its kind, added to National Register of Historic Places | author = Misty Miller | publisher = State of Michigan | date = June 12, 2015 | url = http://www.michigan.gov/som/0,4669,7-192-47796-357187--,00.html}} 4. ^{{citation | title = HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S RESTORED FRANCIS LIFE BOAT TO GET STATE HISTORICAL MARKER SATURDAY, OCT. 15 | author1 = Nathan Nietering | author2 = John Peters | date = October 7, 2016 | url = http://sdhistoricalsociety.org/Newsletter/releases/Release%20-%202016%20Lifeboat%20Historical%20Marker.pdf}} Further reading
