The New Yorker was a fireboat operated by the Fire Department of New York City from 1890 to 1931.[1][2][3] She was launched on April 5, 1890 in the presence of Fire Commissioner S. Howland Robbins.[4]
Her pumps were capable of projecting 13,000 gallons per minute.[1] As the Fire Department's most powerful vessel she was considered the fleet's flagship, until her retirement in 1931, when she was replaced by John J. Harvey.
Operational career
[edit]On January 18, 1909, the crew of The New Yorker rescued a young woman who had slipped on the ice on the seawall near their boat, and fallen into the river.[5] Two observers had jumped in after Albertine Decquer, and the fireboat's crew rescued all three.
On June 9, 1922, The New Yorker rescued Fannie Schecht, a well-dressed young woman who was seen trying to make her way to shore, in the middle of the Hudson.[6]
