Ice jam on the St Claire River

When the going gets tough, the tough 140' CG icebreakers get going through the ice on the St. Claire River near Detroit.

DETROIT–The U.S. Coast Guard is assisting a commercial vessel, in the St. Clair River, which has been delayed due to an ice jam in the vicinity of Algonac, Mich., Monday.

Three other commercial vessels, which were beset in the ice on Sunday, have been relieved from the ice jam.

U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Neah Bay, homeported in Cleveland; Penobscot Bay, homeported in Bayonne, N.J.; Hollyhock, homported in Port Huron, Mich.; and Bristol Bay, homeported here, are working together to break the ice jam and allow vessels to transit the area.
