Duwamish, Museum ship and fireboat at South Lake Union Park, Seattle, United States.
The steel-hulled fireboat extends 122 feet in length with its original three American LaFrance steam piston pumps positioned on the main deck.
Built in 1909 at Richmond Beach Shipbuilding Company, the Duwamish served the Seattle Fire Department for 75 years until its retirement in 1984.
The vessel represents early 20th century maritime firefighting technology through guided tours and educational programs at South Lake Union's Historic Ships Wharf.
Visitors can explore the boat's deck, engine room, and control center when volunteer staff members conduct scheduled tours throughout the year.
The Duwamish maintained the title of most powerful fireboat worldwide from 1909 to 2003, pumping 22,800 gallons of water per minute.
