Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsШаблон:Infobox NRHPDuwamish is a retired fireboat in the United States.[1] She is the second oldest vessel designed to fight fires in the US, after Edward M. Cotter, in Buffalo, New York.[2]
Career
Duwamish was built in 1909 for the Seattle Fire Department in Richmond Beach, Washington, just north of Seattle.[3] She was powered by "double vertical (compound) marine steam engines" capable of driving her at Шаблон:Convert.[2] She was equipped with three American LaFrance steam piston pumps rated at a capacity of Шаблон:Convert each. She was originally designed to ram and sink burning wooden vessels, as a last resort, and was equipped with a ram bow for doing so.
On July 30, 1914, Duwamish was involved in fighting the fire on the Grand Trunk Pacific dock. In the 1930s, as a cost-saving measure, the Seattle City Council directed that Duwamish be used as a tug to push the city's garbage scow.[4]
After an upgrade in 1949, the pumps delivered a total of Шаблон:Convert.[5][6] This capacity was only exceeded in 2003 by the Los Angeles Fire Department's Warner Lawrence, which delivers Шаблон:Convert.[7]
Duwamish is Шаблон:Convert long with a Шаблон:Convert beam and a Шаблон:Convert draft.[3] Her registered gross tonnage is Шаблон:Convert.
Current status
Retired in 1985, Duwamish was purchased by the Puget Sound Fireboat Foundation.[8][9] She is permanently moored at the Historic Ships Wharf near the Museum of History & Industry at South Lake Union Park in Seattle.[10] Visitors may board the vessel when volunteer staff is available.[9]
Duwamish was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.[1][11]
She is a city landmark.Шаблон:Citation needed
