Passengers on grounded Arctic cruise ship to fly out, ice and weather permitting

[Danbones]

I thought the nazi propagandists lost WW2.

No, stupid global warming caused passenger cruise ships to be sailing in waters that were inaccessible a couple of decades ago.

This is why global warming is now climate change.

Research ship trapped in Antarctic ice because of weather, not climate change
Rapid build up of ice that trapped the research vessel Academik Shokalskiy tells us very little about global warming

Summary:
The Science Team of the Canadian Research Icebreaker CCGS Amundsen has cancelled the first leg of the 2017 Expedition due to complications associated with the southward motion of hazardous Arctic sea ice, caused by climate change

LoL, YOU are so FUNNY, that's why I come here!

there is your trouble. That's why the boat is now afloat.

I can buy that.

In the winter why not keep the tourism going by using cats to pull ATCO trailers that are turned into big bob-sleds. The 2nd cat hauls a fuel sloop only. (good for about 2 weeks)
Prospectors/tourists could have a shack hauled out to a spot and left there while they scout the area next summer. We already now there are diamonds near Yellowknife. I doubt anybody has even documented the different rocks in the Baffin Is cliffs let alone the rest of the north.

The SS Manhattan made the trip in August 1969.

Isn't that the way most communities in the north get their supplies? By air in the winter is too expensive and too much material is needed. Rather than icebreakers when the ice is getting thicker this would allow for supplies in the winter as well as being able to go up any inlet winter or summer.

During WWII and the trip took over two years (1940-42) because they had to winter over twice. It's an interesting story that you should read up on, pigs. What it is not is a history of accessibility in Arctic waters. It is quite the opposite.

You should thank me for broadening your horizons .

Want to bet they decided it was nice and quiet there compared to sailing around the North Sea where the U-boats were sinking whatever they wanted.

P.S. if you really want to know she was the first vessel to sail the northwest passage in a single season . There is a museum on Seperly Point , were she is open for viewing . Pretty much right on top of the old Kitsalano Indian village .

Please tell me the people were moved to new quarters before it became 'old'.

Ceperley Point is in Stanley Park-the St Roche is in the Maritime Museum which is in Hadden Park in Kitsilano-I swim there twice a day.

...escorted by BIG icebreakers who broke her out on a few occasions. Also, the Manhattan never sailed again and went to the breakers because the trip had stressed her hull out of spec. Disposible 250,000 ton super tankers are not on.

Stoopid tour boat should’ve had ice breakers, too.

Yup. The Navy has one ready to launch, one half built and a third one with the keel laid. They are not heavy icebreakers but they are more capable than the cruise ships up there. We need to patrol these waters all of the time, now.

Tour bout company must have believed the lie about ice-free Arctic since 2013.

 

[petros]

The ecofacists make it seem like every square metre of ice is accounted for.

It wouldn't been able to make it to where she ran aground if it weren't pretty much ice-free.

Except for the sea-ice that prevented any immediate response.... Pretty much ice free except for that ice, eh?

 

[Danbones]

...he said with an icy grin...

Hmmmm yellow ice...sled dogs been here too Captain!

 

[Twin_Moose]

Aren't the Dew lines replenished by ship every late summer usually late July to early August

 

[petros]

The DEW line is now in space.

 

[Twin_Moose]

It is also fully automatic ran outta North Bay, just maintained now not staffed

 

[petros]

Shared use radar these days with weather and commercial air traffic.

Same goes for the recent commsat shot up by Shaw.

 

[MHz]

now.

Why would that be??
