One of the many cool things happening at the waterfront these days. This fire boat, still active, is the oldest one in the U.S. Sometimes people can get a ride on it, if you are invited you should make every effort to go.
First you will learn about the history of the boat and some of the interesting things it’s done on Lake Erie. Then you will get a ride somewhere on it, how cool is that?
Technology has changed the world no doubt. But if you need to fight a fire from the water, this boat has the right technology for the job. Old school still works.

The Edward M Cotter Fireboat is the oldest active fireboat in the world, and both a US Landmark and on the US Historical Register of places. It’s tucked into a dock on the Buffalo River, right next to the Michigan Avenue Bridge. There’s a little observation area with shade, and it is really a truly gorgeous little boat.
As it is still an active fireboat owned by the Buffalo Fire Department, I am unsure of whether it is tourable, but it is still a photogenic little thing, and it’s worthwhile exploring the extensive Wikipedia page on it.
