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!

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.

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.
