William M. Feehan (fireboat)

The William M. Feehan was a fireboat that served the city of New York. Built in 1931 by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, she was named in honor of William M. Feehan, a former New York City Fire Commissioner. The vessel was a significant addition to the city's firefighting capabilities, boasting a powerful pumping capacity and advanced firefighting technology for its time. Her service included responding to numerous major fires along the city's waterfront and played a crucial role in protecting vital infrastructure and property. Specific details regarding her specifications (such as pump capacity, dimensions, and armament) and operational history beyond her general service are currently lacking in readily available sources. Further research is needed to fully detail her contributions and eventual decommissioning.
