Icebreaker Mackinaw frees ships trapped on Lake Superior
Three large ships carrying taconite were trapped six miles from Duluth harbor by ice blown in by a weekend storm. The 290 foot Mackinaw arrived from Sault Ste Marie to clear the ice after the Sundew could not handle the task. Winds near 60 mph piled ice into wind rows up to six feet high with a thick slushy base under the surface.
