Make a Donation to Support the Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum

The Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that 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!
