National Motor Lifeboat School
The National Motor Lifeboat School (NMLBS) is a unique U.S. Coast Guard training center that operates under the Office of Boat Forces (Commandant G-OCS). With a staff of approximately 60 personnel, it serves as a center of excellence for the Motor Lifeboat (MLB) platform. The NMLBS provides "C" school resident training as well as MLB Readiness and Standardization assessments. We are located near the mouth of the Columbia River at Cape Disappointment just outside of Ilwaco, Washington. The area, known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific," provides the training grounds for Coast Guard personnel learning to care for and operate the 47 foot MLB. For the latest class convenings, visit TQC
