Manchester Vanguard - IMO 5413484

details
Description:
Manchester Vanguard stuck in the ice soon after leaving Montreal enroute from Great Lakes to UK in December 1958. I took this photo with an old Agfa bellows camera. We could walk on the ice it was so thick. About 15 other ships were stuck at the same time. We were broken out by ice breaker "d'Hiberville" after spending a couple of weeks there. We should have been home for Christmas but didn't make it as we had to drydock for repairs in Baltimore due to ice damage. :-(
