Jessica DuLong (a Georgetown native) is a journalist and historian — and one of the world’s only female fireboat engineers. Her book Saved at the Seawall: Stories from the September 11 Boat Lift chronicles the dramatic multi-boat rescue effort that delivered nearly half a million people to safety on 9/11. The definitive history of the world’s largest waterborne evacuation, Saved at the Seawall was featured in Spike Lee’s docuseries NYC Epicenters. Now based in Brooklyn, DuLong lectures internationally about narrative craft and journalism. Her memoir My River Chronicles explores history and her experiences as a marine engineer aboard a Hudson River fireboat to celebrate the vanishing value of hands-on work.
