Wonderful ship, terrible soundtrack to this video, seems as if made for kids!

Salt water is different then lake water,when testing vessels please use salt water,ice breakers break salt ice,make note.

Proving global warming is a lie

I really hate how these programs try to ramp up the drama every 3minutes by telling us over and over about critical deadlines that will cost millions if they don't get it done. I find myself hoping they don't make it.

Impossible to watch this documentary due to loud, unnecessary music. Another spoiled video.

As fascinating as this is there is an inherent problem with doing anything that will hasten the further destabilization of the Arctic Ice Pack. The Eastern Siberian Ice Shelf is a perfect example. According to Natalia Shakhova leading Methane Clathrate Geologist who's famous decades long field research has illuminated a very dangerous problem that if allowed to play out would probably release huge ammounts of atmosheric Methane. Enough to substantially accelerate global warming. In addition the reduced collective surface albedo of a disappearing Arctic Ice pack will also contribute to global warming. No wonder the Arctic is warming 8 times faster than the rest of the Earth according to NASA and NOAA.

The mv "Arctic" of Canarctic / Fednav, that was launched in 1978, that is shown at the beginning of this video - it is the 'trailblazer' of cargo-carrying merchant icebreakers. This vessel was built under a consortium of the Canadian Government, Canarctic & Fednav. It was designed as a prototype and test platform for a planned fleet of some six vessels, to haul minerals in bulk, out of the high Canadian Arctic. Her initial task was carrying zinc concentrate out of the Nanisivik mine, on northern Baffin Island to Antwerp, Belgium. Lloyd's ice class 1A Super; Canada ice class 3 (2.0 kts in 1.5m ice). Dwt 27700. She was built at Port Weller Dry Docks, in St. Catharines, Ontario. The mv "Arctic", was the first.

36:15 this is how they fish for orca in the Arctic.

Is the Lifeboat at the rear designed to break ice when it is launched from its position high up behind the stern?

Can anyone please tell me what music or track they played at 9:39? That hit something different.

Phenomenal 👍👍👍

One of the most interesting engineering videos I have ever seen so Thanks.

what piece of engineering and hard work Amazing work

I like the program it's good cmc.

One of my best documentaries!

120 million dollars sounds mighty cheap?

They should have been there before titanic set sailed

Is the ice constantly hitting the front screw?

hey! someone tell me how thick is that outer wall of the ship..!? please

any one else here for science class lol

2021 🙂

Does ANYONE think that breaking something that our planet MAKES for a reason,is a good idea???????? NOT TO SMART.

It's too bad they viewed the San Fransisco Bay as a problem and not one of the most valuable resources on earth.

Lmao it's not that cool I love 25 mins away and make sure to stay clear of the city

It's shameful California is a big , fat dump & people & businesses are moving out in droves.

The Mackinac bridge spans over 5 miles & in the notoriously rough Great Lakes.

And now it one of the most famous places to commit suicide.

With all of the concern about the polar ice melting. Why do they continue to create vessels that contribute to the problem? Breaking the ice will cause it to melt at a more rapid rate. A solid unbroken mass of ice will stay frozen longer than it would, if it were broken into smaller peices. Stop breaking the ice... Where are the activists on this one...? I am not a global warming activist. But this... is just common sense. Stop breaking the ice, and the polar regions will not melt as fast. The science is simple. One cubic foot of mass has 6 square feet of surface. Split that cube in half and you add an additional 2 square feet of surface. In terms of ice. That means there is one third more surface exposed to the ambient temperature than there was before it was split. It will melt faster. Stop breaking the ice...!!!

Good Documentary thanks..

This is the way the ice booked 40 years ago the ice and doesn't even look like this anymore it's all filthy dirty it melts fast is turn the ocean into a wash machine oanda 10% Ocean map I've been hearing that for 50 years does steel saying it today after the fleet of trident's in the eighties I doubt if there's any ocean left

That's why we got airplanes maybe these guys breaking all the ice up started the Melt they don't probably have to worry about that anymore but sure want to Pat themselves on the back of the act like it has to be done. They were hiding monsters and fighting monsters and it pretty much looks like they're losing

If the bridge ever will collapses, it’s the woman’s fault, they replaced man who just build and managed the bridge and 2 woman now managed this construction, who have no part in this construction not even had given any architectural input to build this monumental bridge.

Наш «50 лет...» топчик просто!

Looks like they could heat the bow

I wonder if the steel used at front and back is a higher quality to withstand the ice cutting, I know the saltwater ice is different than freshwater, I am of the understanding that arctic sea ice is softer and not as brittle as freshwater ice. just another engineering marvel .... and yes, I spend some 15 years in the High Arctic and have gone on the sea ice often for hunting...

Whose the crew behind this incredible documentary ?!!

Hmm. Bet thats 1 of the main reasons for arctic sea ice melting problems

Love it. Men on steel engine

Call 1800 Germany for all your engineering needs ! 👏🏼

Now who is watching this during school?

Why didn't they put a little more dramatic music on that? Would be so much better!

Canada is not paying attention to the Russian encroachment in the north They want the oil and gas reserves. As usual we will be late to the party!

Both the hull and the propulsion system is designed in Finland. What they did not tell is that the breaker has a system to blow air bubbles under the hull they act as ball bearings between the ice and hull

All of this in the name of commerce, i don't want anything from anyone

Ice bergs dead ahead sir! Hold your course, full speed ahead.

"We have to keep on shedule!" - I see many Überstunden

History timeline is important in this project. Fire in SF and rebuilding housing / business, required local manpower and tradesmen who had to travel AROUND the bay without vehicles, and no where to reside IN the city. Steel fabricated into movable components on the EAST coast of US. Shipped to West coast and stored. Used only recently completed Panama canal to do so. As bridge was being constructed, Henry Ford is paying $5 a day also, and automobiles are only beginning to become popular. Check out docs on gift from France project, cast, crated, shipped to USA, and assembled in NY harbor. Also a target risk by weather and terrorist attack. Lady Liberty.

Endless repetition, pointless dialog, massive over dramatization makes this video impossible to watch.

UFO at 18:58

Interesting, but very low volume.
