Fireboat Design Provides Novel Features
Plans for an 86-foot steel hull fireboat capable of pumping 9,000 GPM of water at 150-pounds nozzle discharge pressure have been developed by George E. Meese, Naval Architects & Marine Engineers, Annapolis, Md.
With independent propulsion and pumping engines, this twin-screw, diesel powered vessel provides complete living facilities for 10 men and is able to fight fire at maximum capacity continuously for 72 hours.
