More ice breaker excitement
12-31 New Year's "Eve"
The ice breaker finally made it all the way in to the ice pier. They broke the channel in this morning, and are now spending the rest of the day out in the turning basin widening the basin and widening the channelin to the pier. It was quite a sight to be right down by the water and see all the ice move in response to the breaker shoving its way in.
The breaker also managed to shove this large piece of ice up onto the pier. I don't think these guys were supposed to be out there, but they lend a good sense of scale.
The ice breaker still has a hammer and sickle insignia on the bow. It appears to be a big case piece of metal, so it probably wouldn't be easy to remove or paint over.
