description: The astonishing photographs and stories in this book document a little-known side of New York's heroic response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001: the maritime rescue effort. Ferries, tugboats, private vessels, and others joined together to evacuate an estimated 300,000 people from lower Manhattan. In conjunction with a landmark exhibit of the same name at the South Street Seaport Museum, "All Available Boats" tells the story of this historic day through the voices of some of its heroes.
