2/5/2006: Ice ship

It's not out of the water, it just has a very odd (compared to normal ships) bow.

The odd frontal hull shape, combined with the massive superstructure (for crushing weight) makes her an icebreaker.

Unsure on the country of origin - Don't know who the red-over-blue belongs to, and can't read the ID on the side.

Was sent these by a shipping pal a few weeks ago - aboard the Coastguard vessel 'Sir William Alexander' taken a few weeks previous when on a search mission for missing fishing vessel 'El Loda Cash' - never found - the weight of the build-up of ice on fishing vessels changes the whole centre of gravity and they can then more easily capsize...
