Fireboat John J. Harvey stops at Captains Cove
A historic vessel caused quite a splash on a recent afternoon when, with escorts by her side, she slid around St. Mary’s-by-the-Sea and into Bridgeport Harbor.
The grande dame of note was the John J. Harvey, an 80-year-old fireboat built for the Fire Department of New York and commissioned in 1931.After 63 years of service, she was decommissioned, sold at auction and saved from being scrapped by a small group of maritime preservationists operating under the banner, Save Our Ships New York.
The historic boat has been lovingly maintained by volunteers and each year travels the region’s waterways, stopping in various towns to teach people about maritime history, promote waterfront revitalization and squirt some water as she did during her harbor arrival.
Led by the Harbormaster and flanked by the Harbor Patrol, this floating piece of history pulled up to the dock at Captain’s Cove, her water cannons creating a fantastic shower and horns and bells drawing local folks down to take a look.

The Harvey's power source was originally five Sterling Viking II, 8-cylinder, 565-HP gasoline engines. In 1957, these were replaced in the same footprint with five 600-HP Fairbanks-Morse model 38f5 1/4 8-cylinder opposed-piston diesel engines. |
