Organizations with Search and Rescue duties maintain shore-based lifeboats ready to go to sea to search for lost or stranded individuals. The first boats built with rescue in mind were constructed in the mid-eighteenth century.[1] Modern search and rescue lifeboats are self-righting, and equipped with modern navigation technology.
