Enough ice to sink a ship.
Stunning photos.
The pictures taken were on the Coast Guard ship Sir William Alexander during the search for the fishing boat El Loda Cash which went down in the Bay of Fundy. It is belived the ice caused the fishing boat to sink. Pics removed. ragnar has provided the direct link below. |
My father has been out on several ice breakers with fisheries and oceans as the science cheif. He has some pretty harry photos like these but those are definatly an extreme.
|
Wow...incredible pictures. I am so glad that isn't my job.
|
wow, awsome shots.
|
i dont know why, but i think i would enjoy that.
|
Wow, I didn't think I'd hate the cold any more than I already did, but there you go.
|
Wow..
I wonder how many ships have been lost like that over the past few hundred years. |
jeez, it's like they became their own iceberg!
|
The inside of my freezer used to look like that.
Thanks for the unusual pics, chris. :thumbsup: |
holy shit, looks like it flash froze onto the deck
|
Jeez, you guys are slipping. Not so much as one "That's...cool" pun. ;)
|
Thats COOL!
|
^^beat me to the corny pun^^
|
That's insane! However, ice floats on water (water is the only compound which the solid state floats on the liquid state). I suppose the shear weight of it on the boat would be enough to sink it though.

Great pictures! I would like to take a sledge hammer to ice for a few minutes to burn calories and frustration, but then I would want out.
|
Damn - nothing but respect for the Coasties who go out in that shit to save other people's lives. You wouldn't see me on a cutter in that!
|
Reminds me of Cabin Boy for some reason... ;)
|
Holy moses!
|
Incredible pictures.

Hey guys,
sorry for the broken pics maritimeofficer.com belongs to me, ive re-upped them on another from me http://www.dutchcargoships.com/images/lars/ |
Well, I live in Texas so something like that would be a big shock to me. I'd probably find it pretty fun though - I just love the snow.
|
They should have made the boat out of Pykrete.

My internet behaviour sometimes crosses the line and conversing an image is just a second nature for me so I hope that I caused you no grief with the post. Thank you for putting the link up for what are just stark reminders of life that is real. Apologies again and I will PM you. |
