The #FDNY John J. Harvey fireboat (1931) is one of the most powerful fireboats ever built. She is famed for assisting with evacuations on 9/11, although out of service after retiring in 1994, and pumped water for 80 hours until water mains in lower Manhattan were restored to service. You can visit and her off Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park or in Hudson River Park from September 15 to October 7. #fireboat #johnjharvey #brooklynbridgepark #maritimehistory #fdnyhistory #hudsonriverpark #hudsonriver ##johnjharveyfireboat #lowermanhattan #nycharbor #nychistory #urbanism #nycurbanism #history (at Fireboat John J Harvey)
