The '''''Alexander Grantham''''' was a fireboat of [[Hong Kong]]'s [[Hong Kong Fire Services Department|Fire Services Department]]. The [[fireboat]] was named after former Governor [[Alexander Grantham|Sir Alexander Grantham]]. The boat has since retired from service and been replaced by other vessels.

On 10 March 2006, the fireboat was successfully hoisted into its new permanent home in the Central Concourse of [[Quarry Bay Park]], Hong Kong, where it has been converted into the '''Fireboat ''Alexander Grantham'' Exhibition Gallery''' and was opened to the public as a museum in 2007, managed by [[Leisure and Cultural Services Department|LCSD]]. In addition to the fireboat itself, the gallery houses a number of multimedia exhibits on the vessel's history and on firefighting in Hong Kong.

[[3D scanner|3D Laser Scanning]] Technology in digital recording of structures was applied to capture the 3D images of the structure.<ref>[http://www.hkis.org.hk/hkis/html/upload/NewsPressRelease/nwpr126_0.pdf How surveyors use 3D Laser Scanning Technology in digital recording of structures] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929200140/http://www.hkis.org.hk/hkis/html/upload/NewsPressRelease/nwpr126_0.pdf |date=2011-09-29 }}, The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (issued on 17 January 2007)</ref>

The lifting of the 500-tonne historic boat onto land is the first project of its kind ever conducted in Asia. ''Alexander Grantham'' is also the first boat preserved as a historic relic in Hong Kong, and the [[Hong Kong Museum of History]]'s largest 'Made in Hong Kong' collection item.

The landing of the ''Alexander Grantham'' marks the end of 50 years of service in [[Victoria Harbour]], though the vessel remains on the waterfront in its new role. Construction of the exhibition gallery was performed with assistance from the [[Architectural Services Department]] and the [[Leisure and Cultural Services Department]] of Hong Kong.

==A showcase of HK's sea salvage history==
''Alexander Grantham'', the largest in the fleet of fireboats, was built by the Hong Kong Whampoa Dock Company Limited in 1953 and decommissioned in May 2002, after 49 years of service.

Measuring 38.9 metres long, 8.8 metres wide, 15 metres tall and with a loaded displacement of 511 tonnes, it has taken part in numerous fire-fighting and rescue operations, including the ''[[RMS Queen Elizabeth|Seawise University]]'' fire in 1972, the ''Eastern Gate'' fire in the 1980s and the ''New Orient Princess'' fire in 1993.

''Alexander Grantham'' is also a great example of the Hong Kong shipbuilding industry's achievements in the early 1950s. It showcases Hong Kong's sea salvage history of the past century and provides a glimpse of the territory's social development.

==Transport==
The fireboat is accessible within walking distance northeast from [[Tai Koo station]] of the [[MTR]].
