U.S. Coast Guard Cutters Bristol Bay (WTGB 102), Neah Bay (WTGB 105), and Canadian Coast Guard Ship Samuel Risley broke the Manitoulin free from the ice Jan. 25, 2025 after arriving on scene, which allowed the vessel to continue its transit. Ice Breaking on the Great Lakes is essential during the winter months to ensure the flow of commercial traffic. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Lt. Cmdr. Stephen Nolan)
