Boat posting on main and thinking about the St. Roch voyage, only the second ship to make the Northwest Passage, and the first to do it West to East. It took 28 month to reach Halifax, NS from Vancouver, the voyage spanning from 1940-1942. It's such a recent voyage that there is video footage from it, isn't that wild?

"The pack-ice ’round us cracks and groans The old St. Roch, she creaks and moans The icy fog is in my bones And the ache won’t go away Outside I bet it’s warm and fair I could have her fingers in my hair But it’s long, cold miles to her out there So I guess I’ll have to stay And just take it from day to day"
