Deluge, Historic fireboat at Mississippi River, New Orleans, United States.
The Deluge fireboat stretches 138.8 feet in length and 29 feet in beam, with a gross tonnage of 372 tons at the New Orleans port.
Built by Johnson Drydock & Shipbuilding Company in 1923, the Deluge received National Historic Landmark status in 1989 for its role in maritime firefighting operations.
The Deluge represents New Orleans' maritime firefighting heritage through decades of service protecting vessels and waterfront structures along the Mississippi River.
The Deluge responded to approximately forty fires annually during its operational period, combining firefighting capabilities with additional tasks like dock maintenance and towing.
During the Christmas Eve fire of 1950, the Deluge led critical operations to control flames from an oil spill caused by a barge accident.
