On September 11, 2001, fireboats like the historic Edward M. Cotter became unsung heroes—supplying water for firefighting and evacuating thousands from Manhattan in an operation larger than Dunkirk. Amid chaos on the ground, where paramedics were sidelined and firefighters faced impossible odds, these vessels were the city’s lifeline. Survivors still remember vividly, warning against complacency as time passes. Conservation groups now preserve these boats not just as relics, but as symbols of courage, ensuring future generations honor the sacrifice and resilience that defined that day.
