New London, CT 2020
On a recent photo walk along the Thames River in New London, I came across the fireboat Fire Fighter. This fireboat served the FDNY for 72 years and fought over 50 fires in that time span. She assisted in pumping water after the 9/11 attacks when water mains were inoperable around the World Trade Center. She also took part in rescue efforts for the "Miracle on the Hudson". Currently she's a museum and an historic landmark.
A fine ship with an honored history. Too bad she is no longer on active duty.
