Biographical Information: Pierre-Esprit Radisson (1636-1701). Born in France, he came to Canada at an early age, and spent several of his early years living with Mohawks. Joining forces with his brother-in-law, Medard Des Grosseilliers, he became fur trader and explorer, and was instrumental in establishing the Hudson's Bay Company. His contributions to early Canadian economy, played a major role in the development of Western Canada for centuries to come. Radisson is buried in London, England.

Must be sailing full speed ahead by the look of iced wave train. Nos brises-glaces sont des navires superbes, merci pour montrer cette photo.

Hello Daniel. I agree with you that there's an interesting effect here. But, about the full speed ahead thing, I'm not convinced. I just added the vessel details in the Description Section and for this 1978-built icebreaker, full speed - I was tempted to say full steam - ahead means a vertigo inducing 16.7 kts.

Daniel. I almost forgot. 16.7 kts is when the engine is running properly. Go back one year to the day and there was an engine failure that caused some kind of fender bender for the old Pierre as well as for an unfortunate Fednav bulker (at almost the exact same location as this picture !). See Luc Morissette's pictures captured on Jan 21, 2022 as well as mine captured on Jan 29, 2022.
