– Aluminum Valco Fire Boat
|
|
 |
The Valco Aluminum Jet Fire Boat was in service in Monterey from the early 1960's to the
early 1970's. Boat maintenance was high on
this boat and often it was placed out of
service and could not respond. The jet intake would often get clogged with seaweed
and was rendered useless on the water side of the City's Famous Cannery Row. Cannery
Row through the years was plagued with numerous fires many of which were determined to be
arson during the late 1960's and early 1970's. |
