The Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum is a 501c3 Non-Profit organization which relies on the generosity of the public to meet our restoration and operational goals as well as our obligations to the US Secretary of the Interior as stewards of a National Historic Landmark. We are dedicated to preserving the Fire Fighter as a fully operational vessel, living history museum, memorial, and teaching platform for future generations as well as those who have served aboard, or worked in the maritime trades or are just interested in American maritime history. In order to meet these goals, we need your help!
We are seeking donations of all kinds to the museum, whether they be financial, material or through volunteer contributions of your time. All are welcome and accepted. Please help restore the Fire Fighter to her former glory and preserve this piece of American history!
