Fireboat of the Fire Department of New York City
The New Yorker was a fireboat operated by the Fire Department of New York City from 1890 to 1931.[1][2][3] She was launched on April 5, 1890 in the presence of Fire Commissioner S. Howland Robbins.[4]
Her pumps were capable of projecting 13,000 gallons per minute.[1] As the Fire Department's most powerful vessel she was considered the fleet's flagship, until her retirement in 1931, when she was replaced by John J. Harvey.
