香港旅遊景點介紹---葛量洪號滅火輪 (Fireboat Alexander Grantham )

twintwin

Introduction

The fireboat Alexander Grantham went into service in 1953. Before being decommissioned in 2002, it served as the flagship of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department's fireboat team, responding to fire alarms and conducting rescue operations both in Hong Kong's waters and along the shoreline. The Alexander Grantham was built by Hong Kong & Whampoa Dock Co. Ltd. and, as well as an enduring witness to the history of Hong Kong's sea rescue services, it is also a testament to the achievements of Hong Kong shipbuilding in the 1950s.

Given the profound historical significance of the Alexander Grantham, the Hong Kong Museum of History acquired the fireboat for its collections, refitting it and opening it to the public in the purpose-built Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery. Showcasing a number of unique firefighting artefacts, the gallery offers a wealth of information displayed in multimedia formats to enhance the visitors' understanding of marine rescue work in Hong Kong.

簡介

「葛量洪號」滅火輪於1953年投入服務，2002年退役前，一直是香港消防處滅火輪隊的旗艦，曾參與無數船舶及沿岸重大火警的撲救工作和海上救援任務。「葛量洪號」在香港黃埔船塢建造，除了見證香港的消防歷史外，亦充分反映香港五十年代造船業的成就。

鑑於「葛量洪號」深具歷史意義，香港歷史博物館把它列為藏品，並建設「葛量洪號滅火輪展覽館」，妥善裝置此滅火輪，開放予市民參觀。此外，展覽館還展出獨特的消防文物，並輔以多媒體介紹，增進市民對香港海上救援工作的認識。
