Reviews
"Very interesting history that is slowly going to waste. Too bad that it’s not being restored. You can’t go into it which would be worth a price for admission. Hope someone restores it."

"Always a beautiful thing to learn a little history"
"Great place for photos"
"I love Tacoma history and this place is in the thick of it. A bit from Wikipedia.... Fireboat No. 1 was built in 1929 for the Port of Tacoma by the Coastline Shipbuilding Company of Tacoma, Washington for US$148,000. She is 96 feet 6 inches long with a 21-foot-6-inch beam and a 6-foot draft."
