Summary

Description

Milwaukee fireboat Cataract, shortly after delivery.

Original caption: "Shortly after delivery, Milwaukee's first fireboat, the Cataract, lies alongside the U.S. Life-Saving Station on Jones Island in late 1880. The Cataract was the first of six large fireboats used throughout the department's history. Their operational cost, a decline in port activity, and the diminishing riverfront grain elevators spelled the end of Milwaukee's fireboat fleet, which, for a time, was one of the nation's largest.
"
