Icebreakers are needed to keep trade routes open where there are either seasonal or permanent ice conditions

Nice and noisy, I imagine that is what it sounds like inside a cocktail shaker, with the appropriate amounts of gin or vodka, and Vermouth of course, you heathens.

thanks for the vid, Dave.

Helping to keep everyone happy! :tu

Wow, made it look so easy, unlike the shots I’ve seen in Deadliest Catch where the ships struggle in pack ice. Thanks for sharing. :tu

I spent 28 months from 1972 - 1974 aboard a US Coast Guard Wind Class breaker homeported in Seattle. I made both a summer north trip (we went above Pt. Barrow) and then a winter north in the Bering Sea, and one south trip to McMurdo and Palmer Station, Antarctica.

The breaker I was on was commissioned the Northwind in 1939, sent to the russians during WWII and was re-claimed by the USN in the late 1950s and renamed Staten Island. It was decommissioned in 1975.
