1961-built ANTHONY J. CELEBREZZE, named for the 49th Mayor of Cleveland and the fifth U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare who served under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, as well as on the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, is the Cleveland Fire Department's fireboat. The 61-foot long vessel was delivered from Paasch Marine on October 20, 1961 and was built at a reported cost of $85,000. Today a vessel of this size would cost well over $1,000,000.
The CELEBREZZE is stationed at Station 21 on Carter Road along the banks of the Cuyahoga River.
