Summary

Description
English: U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Biscayne Bay (bottom) and Mackinaw (top) break ice in the lower end of the Rock Cut in the St. Mary’s River in Michigan. The cutters were called to break ice in the area after the freighter Cedarglen (center) became beset by ice the previous day. Cedarglen was beset for approximately 19 hours before the Coast Guard vessels were able to free it.
