From WikiAlpha
The Thomas A'lessandro Jr. was Baltimore, Maryland's first diesel fireboat.[1] She operated from 1956 to 2007.[2] She was able to pump 12,000 gallons per minute.
After her 2007 retirement, she sat in a scrapyard, but in 2020, the decision was made to cannibalize her wheelhouse and deckhouse and turn them into a museum exhibit.[2]
