Retired fire boat now a floating museum
The John D. McKean was an FDNY fire boat from 1955 until 2010. It was sold at auction and then restored so it can go on display as a floating museum.
NEW YORK - A fireboat that took part in some of New York City's most high-profile response and rescue efforts is about to open to the public as a floating testament to history.
The John D. McKean, named for Marine Engineer John D. McKean, who was burned in a gas explosion on another fireboat, went into service in 1955. In 2001, it played a major role in the response to the Sept. 11 attacks.
