My father and his chief mechanic once crossed the Atlantic in

There was a writeup in Boating. Seems a couple of Norwegians were
crossing the atlantic in a runabout. Its been done with oars.

As for a fireboat welcome, there is no such thing. NY does have harbor
tugs with a big pump and a nozzle available for fire fighting.
