Description

The Soviet icebreaker Leonid Krassin, in 1941, being studied by US maritime authorities.

Original caption:

Leonid Krassin.
No caption/photo number; date/photographer unknown.
The Soviets offered the use of their icebreaker Krassin to the U.S. in 1941 and the Coast Guard surveyed her for use in Greenland waters. She was originally constructed by Vickers and entered service with the Russians in 1917. Although the Soviets revoked their offer in November, 1941, and she therefore never entered U.S. service, the Coast Guard did obtain information on her design. That information was utilized in the design and construction of the Wind Class icebreakers.
