This is the inspiring true story of the John J. Harvey -- a retired
New York City fireboat reinstated on September 11, 2001. Originally
launched in 1931, the Harvey was the most powerful fireboat of her
time. After the September 11 attacks, with fire hydrants at Ground
Zero inoperable and the Hudson River's water supply critical to
fighting the blaze, the fire department called on the Harvey for
help. There were adjustments -- forcing water into hoses by jamming
soda bottles and wood into nozzles with a sledgehammer -- and then
the fireboat's volunteer crew pumped much-needed water to the
disaster site. The John J. Harvey proved she was still one of New
York's Bravest!
Maira Kalman brings a New York City icon to life, celebrating
the energy, vitality and hope of a place and its people.
