Gunderson Lifeboat Activity
Join us to experience a simulation of packing an emergency kit for a World War II era lifeboat! The Gunderson Brothers Engineering Corporation was a Portland-based shipbuilding company that made lifeboats for the US Navy during World War II, one of which will be on display in Warnock Building this fall. Work in groups to discuss the pros and cons of what to pack. Learn about how to plan for an emergency, teamwork, healthy debate and discussion, and about what went into a historic lifeboat emergency kit.
