It’ll be put out when it starts melting and sinks into the harbor. Then the fires will go out. Read up on the French ship Normandie that burned at her pier in New York harbor.
Why not just deliberately scuttle it now, before it melts. You may be able to salvage something.
It listed and capsised at the dock, because of the volume of firefighting water that had been pumped in.

I thought of that, too. The Normandie was being converted to a troop ship at the time of the fire. At least some sources have said the fire was arson, set by the Mafia, to get Lucky Luciano out of prison. FWIW there were no other similar incidents on the NYC docks during the war and the Mafia fully cooperated with the war effort.
