The Fire Boat - A Heroic Effort to Protect Hull During The Blitz
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the brave efforts of the Hull Fire Brigade during the devastating bombings of World War II. Known as "The Fire Boat" this specialized vessel played a crucial role in extinguishing city fires by delivering water from nearby waters. In this particular image, we see Chief Goodrich, or Goodich, leading his team with unwavering determination. During March 1941, large-scale attacks ravaged Hull for several nights, resulting in over 200 tragic deaths. The most concentrated assaults occurred on May 7th and 8th and claimed nearly 400 lives. Another significant attack took place in July that year, causing an additional 143 fatalities. Throughout the war years from June 1940 to 1945, Hull endured more than a thousand hours under alert due to relentless raids. Tragically, almost twelve hundred people lost their lives as a result of these bombings. This poignant photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and bravery displayed by emergency services like Chief Goodrich's fire brigade during one of humanity's darkest periods. It stands as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who risked everything to protect their city and its inhabitants.
