FIREBOAT NO. 1, built (1929) and operated only on Puget Sound, is representative of most fireboats built prior to the Second World War throughout the U.S. One of ten fireboats greater than 50 years of age left in the U.S. and one of five remaining 1920s fireboats, she is the least modified, has not undergone extensive modernization, and is well preserved. Today she is a monument and museum.
