Pyronaut is a specialised fire boat built in 1934 for use at Bristol Docks in the 200 years old Floating Harbour. It was able to fight ship and warehouse fires on the wharf side, aiding land borne appliances and was used extensively during the Bristol Blitz.
She saw 40 years of service before being retired and was then sold on twice, before being sold again in 1989 to Bristol City Museum, where it was restored and put on display at Princes Wharf, where the M Shed Museum is located, named after its original warehouse designation.
