Fireboat Water Salute - Statue of Liberty New York Photography
A New York fireboat throws a fan of water around the Statue of Liberty in the classic harbor salute, the gesture every arriving cruise ship and visiting dignitary still receives. The boat belongs to the FDNY Marine Unit, the oldest professional firefighting fleet in the United States, with continuous operations since 1875 and roots back to the volunteer companies that fought fires off New York piers in the 1700s. The salute itself — water shot in arcs from forward and side monitors — has been a harbor tradition since the age of steam tugs. The composition catches the spray suspended in mid-arc, Liberty's torch steady behind. A New York welcome, the only way the harbor knows how.
