lifeboat

Most of the Housatonic’s 155 crewmembers saved themselves by launching lifeboats or by climbing into the ship’s rigging, which towered safely above the harbor’s shallow twenty-seven-foot depth.

But the GOP also has an opening to start building lifeboats from ObamaCare.

“There’s not many of us left that did lighthouses or lifeboat stations, guys — mostly guys, almost exclusively — like me.”

The 1884 death of a cabin boy in a lifeboat was no accident.

Of the 1,065 people on board, 30 died when two lifeboats were pulled into the ship's propellers.
