The Governor Irwin was a fireboat operated in San Francisco, California from 1878 to 1909.[1] She was steam-powered. She participated in the recovery after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire,[2] and was owned by the State of California. The boat could only pump a modest 1,000 U.S. gal (3,800 L) per minute.[citation needed]
