Looking through the bridge in Duluth does not give a good idea of how difficult the ice is outside the harbour.

The Sundew coming alongside the Risley


Once alongside the 2 crews
visited each others ships while the ships
continued with their work.

These photos are from a visit to the Sundew while they carried out their icebreaking program in Duluth Harbour.

Another view of the bridge.
The conning team is on the staboard wing - and well bundled up.


Devil's claw on the anchor.
This secures the anchor to ensure
it does not run out by itself.


The inside team, including the Wheelsman. They might have been inside but the doors were open to allow the conning officer to pass orders from outside.
