LCC-LFB fireboat Beta at Cherry Garden Pier

Fireboat Beta alongside Cherry Garden Pier, Rotherhithe, in the Port of London, downstream from Tower Bridge. The twin funnelled Beta had a large capacity firefighting fitted monitor near its prow. The monitor could throw a powerful column of water, of many hundreds of gallons per minute, to the height of Londons tallest riverside wharves. With a draft of only 19 inches this fireboat could operate at very low tides

EDITORS COMMENTS
Fireboat Beta of the London Fire Brigade, proudly moored at Cherry Garden Pier in Rotherhithe, is a testament to the vital role of firefighting vessels on the River Thames. Built in the 1920s, this twin-funnelled fireboat boasts a large capacity firefighting monitor near its prow. The monitor is capable of throwing a powerful column of water, reaching the heights of London's tallest riverside wharves, with an impressive flow rate of many hundreds of gallons per minute. With a shallow draft of only 19 inches, Fireboat Beta can effectively operate even during very low tides. This historic appliance, a valuable asset to the London Fire Brigade, stands ready to protect the city from the unique challenges posed by fires on the Thames." "This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, captures the essence of the London Fire Brigade's commitment to safeguarding the city's waterfront. The fireboat's powerful monitor, coupled with its shallow draft, makes it an indispensable tool in firefighting efforts along the Thames. The image also highlights the importance of the Thames as a transportation route and the unique challenges faced by emergency services in this setting." "Fireboat Beta, with its distinctive twin funnels, is a proud symbol of the London Fire Brigade's dedication to ensuring the safety of the city and its residents. The boat's presence at Cherry Garden Pier, downstream from Tower Bridge, underscores the importance of firefighting vessels on the River Thames and their role in protecting London's rich history and infrastructure.
