Something that is part of a museum, and is genuinely permanently 
secured, seems very different to an emergency response vehicle (which a 
lifeboat is for all intents and purposes). I'd map planes at an air and 
space museum but not ones at an airport terminal.

I guess the trouble with lifeboats is that they can be stored on land or 
they can be kept moored in the water. So it isn't quite as easy as 
saying "map the building" as sometimes there won't be a building (for 
the lifeboat, there normally is a building for the crew to change in etc).

Being a little pedantic, a lifeboat that is "permanently moored" won't 
serve much use as a lifeboat. Being less pedantic, mapping the reserved 
mooring location could work, however, in that case, we should be tagging 
it as a mooring spot rather than as a lifeboat itself. The mooring 
location will remain even if the lifeboat is at sea.
