EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Massey Shaw fireboat, a historic vessel of the London Fire Brigade, moored at its Blackfriars river station on the Victoria Embankment in the City of London. Launched in 1935, the Massey Shaw fireboat was a vital part of the brigade's fleet, ready to respond to fires along the River Thames. In this image, we see dedicated firemen working diligently on the fireboat, operating the large single monitor and releasing an impressive jet of water across the river. The open glass vents on the deck provide essential ventilation to the engine room below. The Massey Shaw fireboat and her crew were prepared for any emergency, ensuring the safety of Londoners and its iconic landmarks. This evocative image transports us back in time to the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the heroic work of the London Fire Brigade and their fireboats.
