Portland Steamer Portland Battles Ice Pack Near Nome

The crew and passengers endured a perilous drift as efforts to break free failed until the floes parted. The Classic Brown, two miles west of Bledee land, evaded danger while George Schulte and Joe Avila reached Nome on June 15 after crossing the lee shore.
