Northeastern Maritime Historical Foundation
The Northeastern Maritime Historical Foundation is a non-profit organization established to preserve historic vessels. The Foundation has assembled steam-powered vessels in Duluth, Minnesota. In 2005 some of the Foundation's vessels were still being leased for use. The former United States Coast Guard icebreaker USCG ''Snohomish'' was leased in 2005 to serve as a commercial icebreaker. Other vessels in the foundation's collection include the 1913 steam-powered tug the ''Spirit of Algoma'' and the 1916 steam-powered tug ''Reiss''. {{cite news , url = http://www.hollandsentinel.com/feature/x1611326819/Historic-tugboat-heading-to-Holland-once-it-s-out-of-Kalamazoo-Lake#axzz2Xq5I1aQ8 , title = Historic tugboat heading to Holland — once it’s out of Kalamazoo Lake , publisher = Holland Sentinel ''The Holland Sentinel'' is a newspaper published seven days a week in Holland, Michigan, United States, founded in 1896.

United States Coast Guard
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is the maritime security, search and rescue, and law enforcement service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the country's eight uniformed services. The service is a maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the United States military branches for having a maritime law enforcement mission with jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters and a federal regulatory agency mission as part of its duties. It is the largest and most powerful coast guard in the world, rivaling the capabilities and size of most navies. The U.S. Coast Guard is a humanitarian and security service. It protects the United States' borders and economic and security interests abroad; and defends its sovereignty by safeguarding sea lines of communication and commerce across vast territorial waters spanning 95,000 miles of coastline and its Exclusive Economic Zone. With national and economic security depending upon open global t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Icebreaker
An icebreaker is a special-purpose ship or boat designed to move and navigate through ice-covered waters, and provide safe waterways for other boats and ships. Although the term usually refers to ice-breaking ships, it may also refer to smaller vessels, such as the icebreaking boats that were once used on the canals of the United Kingdom. For a ship to be considered an icebreaker, it requires three traits most normal ships lack: a strengthened hull, an ice-clearing shape, and the power to push through sea ice. Icebreakers clear paths by pushing straight into frozen-over water or pack ice. The bending strength of sea ice is low enough that the ice breaks usually without noticeable change in the vessel's trim. In cases of very thick ice, an icebreaker can drive its bow onto the ice to break it under the weight of the ship. A buildup of broken ice in front of a ship can slow it down much more than the breaking of the ice itself, so icebreakers have a specially designed hu ...

USCGC ''Snohomish'' (WYTM 98) was a United States Coast Guard icebreaker. She was the second Coast Guard vessel of that name. She was commissioned on 24 January 1944, served in Boston for the duration of World War II, and until 1947, when she was transferred to Rockland, Maine. On 11 January 1980 the former commander and several crew members were commended for service in New York City, during the height of a garbage collection strike. In 1986 she was sold, served as a commercial vessel, as a yacht, and later as a commercial vessel, being seized in 2004 by the Santoro Oil Company for unpaid bills. In 1998 she was renamed ''Sarah Rose'' and in 2002 as ''Dami Dew''.http://maritime-connector.com/ship/snohomish-8971384/ Santoro Oil donated her to the Northeastern Maritime Historical Foundation in February 2004.

Holland Sentinel
''The Holland Sentinel'' is a newspaper published seven days a week in Holland, Michigan, United States, founded in 1896. It is published by Gannett. The newspaper covers most of Ottawa County, including Holland, Beechwood and Zeeland, as well as northern Allegan County, Michigan, including Douglas and Saugatuck. History Originally an afternoon paper published six days a week, the ''Sentinel'' moved to Saturday mornings and then added a Sunday edition in the late 1980s. In the late 1990s, the paper adopted a morning format for all seven days. Before adopting the name ''The Holland Sentinel,'' it was called ''The Holland Evening Sentinel'' (1928-1977), and before that the ''Holland Daily Sentinel.'' The paper was formerly owned by Stauffer Communications, which was acquired by Morris Communications in 1994. Morris sold the paper, along with 13 others, to GateHouse Media in 2007. In 2019, GateHouse announced it was acquiring Gannett to become the country's largest newspaper ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
