Navigation Claims On Hudson Strait Winter Safety
The article quotes Bishop Dewdney arguing Hudson Strait remains navigable year round with no ice in the strait even in winter. He notes ice in Ungava Bay and along the Labrador coast was heavy but did not affect strait passage. He predicts northern posts and a shift from whaling to trapping as transport links expand. He also foresees continued open water and minimal danger in the strait during winter.
