| Roamer fireboat
I emailed this info to alloyed2sea earlier today:
Windsor, Ontario bought a used Roamer fireboat in 1967. Can't remember now where they bought it and don't know if they still have it. Used mostly for fun I think, no one knew how to drive a boat but that didn't stop them. Saw the City Officials out for rides sometimes. The boat usually patrolled the big fireworks show that Detroit and Windsor put on every year, and at the end of the show ran around at speed across and against the leaving boat traffic shining their searchlight at everyone causing more problems than they were helping. Idiots. In the photo (before all the lights were added) note all the 'suits' with no PFD's, standing on the sidedecks in streetshoes.
