NEW YORK HARBOR
C 1944
A small, thirty-foot, water-jet propelled fireboat called "The Pollywog" is the principal pier fighter used
by the Coast Guard in keeping the harbor of New York free from wartime disaster. A fleet of these potent little boats is
maintained by the Coast Guard Port Security Force.
They throw 3000 gallons of water a minute and have a crew of five men. The Coast Guard, responsible for port security
in the United States, operates the world's largest fireboat fleet. No major disaster has occured to impede victory shipping
since the Coast Guard took over Port Security. (USN)
