Where Are the Remaining Andrea Doria Lifeboats?

A few days ago, I received an e-mail from a young man who needs information on the existing Andrea Doria lifeboats.
“I am a student at SUNY Maritime College. I am studying the Andrea Doria disaster for my senior thesis.

We are looking for the whereabouts of the remaining lifeboats from the Andrea Doria. I have heard that one may be in a museum in Florida.

Would you have information or even a rumor about where I might find one of these lifeboats?

Any help appreciated.”

If anyone has any information for Philip Porteus, would you please contact me? Thank you!
