In February 1993, the last of five fast response fireboats was deliveredby Celtic Shipyards (1988) Ltd. to serve the Port of Vancouver. This marked the culmination of a lengthy and sometimes tedious process during five municipal governments and the federally controlled Vancouver Port Corporation agreed on a shared responsibility in the provision of waterborne fire protection to Vancouver Harbour. This paper describes the genesis of the five new vessels, from planning, to concept definition, the detail design, through construction, material ordering, quality assurance and testing ect. The paper is divided into parts representing the chronological development of the vessels, each part authored by the person whose organization wasresponsible for the particular phase of the project.
