This week Huell presents a somewhat bittersweet tale of two fireboats — old Fireboat #2, also known as the Ralph J. Scott, serving with pride for 78 years; and her replacement, the shiny new Warner Lawrence, which took over the job in 2003. The episode combines two half-hour segments of Visiting; the first aired in June 1996, and the update which follows is from September 2006. Since that time, restoration work on the retired Fireboat #2 continues as she is lovingly cared for, tucked away in a specially constructed shelter — but unfortunately the dreams of a full museum are even now still in limbo due to lack of funding.

Huell visits San Pedro Harbor and sees what has happened with the Old Fireboat, the Ralph. J. Scott, which is a national historic landmark, and checks out the brand new state of the art fireboat.
