Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery
From 1953 to 2002, the fireboat Alexander Grantham served as the flagship of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department's fireboat team, responding to fire alarms and conducting rescue operations in Hong Kong's bustling waters and along its shoreline. The vessel is an enduring witness to the history of Hong Kong's sea rescue services, and a testament to the achievements of Hong Kong shipbuilding in the 1950s.
The Alexander Grantham is open to the public in the purpose-built Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery, which showcases a number of unique firefighting artifacts and illustrates marine rescue work in Hong Kong.
