On Explore for 2days, 14th and 15th June, Highest rank 273.. A fireboat is a specialized watercraft and with pumps and nozzles designed for fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. The first fireboats, dating to the late 18th century, were tugboats, retrofitted with firefighting equipment. Older designs derived from tugboats and modern fireboats more closely resembling seafaring ships can both be found in service today. Some departments would give their multi-purpose craft the title of "Fireboat" also. They are frequently used for fighting fires on docks and shore side warehouses as they can directly attack fires in the supporting underpinnings of these structures. They also have an unlimited supply of water available, pumping directly from below the hull and can be used to assist shore based firefighters when other water is in low supply or is unavailable, for example, due to earthquake breakage of water mains, as happened in San Francisco due to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Fireboats are most usually seen by the public when welcoming a fleet or historical ships with a display of their water moving capabilities, throwing large arcs of water in every direction.

Thank you.♥ ♥ ♥ Texture courtesy of JoeSistah www.flickr.com/photos/27805557@N08 Lost At Sea.....Poem by Kenneth James Hill As my eyes gaze across upon the shallows, Into deeper darker waters i see, Where many a man, lady, child and baby Have been lost to the mysterious sea. Never reaching the place they were going to, Never returning to the place from where they have come, They're gone forever but always remembered In the hearts of their dear loved ones. f ******************There has been a lifeboat service operated from Cromer for two centuries - predating the establishent of the RNLI.
