Fireboats of Baltimore is a catalog of present and past fireboats used in Baltimore, Maryland, which is one of the U.S.'s more significant seaports. When Baltimore added the diesel powered Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. (fireboat) in 1956, she joined a fleet of older steam-powered fireboats, some of which had been launched in the 19th century. She was Baltimore's first new fireboat in 35 years.
