Over the course of the day, these boats would evacuate over 300,000 people from Manhattan, pump water from the harbor to feed hoses, bring in needed supplies, rescue people in the water, and carry fire-fighters, police, and medical and emergency service workers to Ground Zero. " Edited by Mike Magee, MD, with contributions from many individuals as well as the South Street Seaport Museum. Scores of dramatic color photos and the personal narratives of nine mariners and eleven passengers. 140 pages, 8" x 8" soft-bound.
