Fireboat Three Forty Three

13 posts in this topic

I took a ride over to the Navy Yard on Tuesday to maybe catch a glimpse of the new Marine 1. I think I lucked out.

A few of the 11 deck guns.

Since the Department doesn't actually own the boat yet, I wasn't allowed on board to take pictures. So, I ran over to get Marine 6 and the Governor Smith. I should have stuck around to get a close up of this.

The not so old, the old, and the new.

It's in between the Manhattan and Williamsburgh Bridges. It's a pretty large complex. I actually saw what looked to be parts of an commercial airliner fuselage.

Umm, when did I get the Excellence in Photography one?? Personally I think my pix are quite amateurish compared to a few others I know.

That might be the remnants of USAirways Flight 1549, where the NTSB did their investigation of Captain Sully's "Miracle on the Hudson" bird strike.

Great photo opportunity!

Do post more shots when you can get into the "belly of the beast" ! B)

Any specs on this? Horsepower, GPM, etc?

Great shots, Jimmy. Glad to see the camera problems didn't affect the shots. Does it have a scoping ladder like LAFD Boat 2?

I believe that it is something like 8,000 hp, and 50,000 gpm.

Im not quite sure, so correct me if I'm wrong

Take a closer look at the stern, you'll see it. It's pretty much the same one as the Lawrence, although it has a bucket on the end.

Does it have a "super gun" like the one in LA?

The ladder looks like a Telesquirt design. Although I have never seen one with a bucket.
