Baltimore, Maryland Fireboat 2
"Mayor J. Harold Grady"
July 1990 photo

I have always been fascinated by Fireboats.
As I have traveled around the country I have tried to photograph
as many fireboats as I can. Each boat is different and special.
They are powerful firefighting machines. They have great histories.
They have battled great fires and saved cities.
They are spectacular and beautiful.
I hope you enjoy these photographs of Fireboats.
Check out more via links on each page.
Enjoy.

A great book on fireboats is called
FIREBOATS
by Paul Ditzel
published in 1989.
This book was very helpful and I highly recommend it.

Also corrected a misidentified boat previously described as the new Phily
