IN MEMORIAM

Three Decades of
Distinguished Service
for Fire Boat Captain
B
altimore City Fire Boat Captain
James William Smith, a
staunch maritime protector and
supporter, died March 29 after an
extended illness. During his 32 years
of distinguished service, Captain
Smith played an instrumental part
in enhancing the Port of Baltimore
community.
The State of Maryland bestowed
the honor of Chesapeake Bay
Ambassador to Captain Smith in
2011 during National Maritime Day
activities onboard the Nuclear Ship
Savannah
. The Baltimore City Fire
Department, which he joined in 1979,
and the Baltimore & Chesapeake
Steamboat Company co-sponsored
the recognition through heritage
supporter State Senator Jennie M.
Forehand. The recognition spoke
in particular of Captain Smith’s
efforts “aiding the development
and implementation” of the 2007
first-line hazardous materials vessel,
John R. Frazier
, a Regional Response
Watercraft with homeland security
capabilities.
