The Seth Low
The Seth Low was a fireboat built for the Brooklyn Fire Department which operated from 1885 to 1917.[1][2][3] Prior to her commissioning the Brooklyn Fire Department had relied on fireboats from neighboring municipality New York City. Unlike her opposite number of the FDNY, which had hulls of iron, or steel, the Seth Low was a wooden hulled vessel.
Her namesake Seth Low was the 23rd mayor of Brooklyn, from 1882-1885, and the 92nd mayor of New York, from 1902-1903.[2][3]
The Seth Low had a small lounge for her officers in the bows, and a small bunkroom, with four bunks, for off-duty sailors in the stern.[2]
