This illustrated narrative describes the use of icebreaking ships in support of the oil industry activities over the past 40 plus years from the SS Manhattan voyages through the NW Passage in 1969 and 1970, through the very active period of offshore oil exploration in the N. American arctic in the 1970s and 1980s, to more modern times when special purpose icebreaking ships are supporting both oil exploration and production activities in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, Baffin Bay and Fram Straits, the Barents, Pechora, Kara Seas and the Sea of Okhotsk. SNAME and its members have played key roles in these developments.
