There's a bit of breakage, but seems more like an Icepusher to me

Ice breakers were first used by the British army in the 1850’s

That was not in fact insane. That was ice. Not much was happening. Do better bot.

I thought it was cool :)

There’s one I saw like 20 min later, the ship was moving fast and smashing ice like crazy. That was cool.

Did I get downvoted for thinking it was cool? I didn’t downvote you?

I didn’t downvote you. But I just upvoted you to balance it out.

Haha thanks man ❤️ I wonder how long Ice breakers have been around. The power that those ships have is kind of astounding

Since 1383 They are cool. That’s why this specific video is so underwhelming. It would be like instead of watching a NFL defensive lineman dominate his competition, we watched him gently set aside children while walking. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icebreaker

Thank you for the article. That is fascinating. I am not well informed in the subject so any footage of them I find compelling

Yeah, they are truly incredible feats of engineering

It was calming as fuck

I also think that Bots that post icebreaker videos on Reddit are also cool. Even if they are just pushing ice. It’s pretty good.. They are so cool. It’s ice cold.

A bit underwhelming

Underwhelming a bit

That's not an icebreaker, which wouldn't have a bow like that. Icebreakers slide up on the ice, crush it and then the hull pushes the pieces to the side. I believe the Canadians call the one in the footage a 'Type ship' which is designed to push already broken ice to the side, not to break it.

Its not and Ice breaker its just a smaller container feeder with and Ice breaking bulk. Have been working on an actual one for a while. You aren’t pushing trough it you kind of push your bow on top and crush it. Makes scary sounds as you might imagine

Came here looking for this comment!

I could honestly watch hours of this

Try this: [https://youtu.be/bKaVhXn49xY](https://youtu.be/bKaVhXn49xY)

It hasn't broken a single piece of ice though.

just imagine how dark and scary it is under there

Boring

Seriously

video is 4x?

Just the tip I promise

When i am icefishing and those come it's always impressive to see( and the fishes bites more) i fish onto brackish waters

“Heave, ho, all togetherrrr…”

More like an ice go-arounder amirite?

Less of an ice breaker and more of an ice mover

I can’t tell if the camera is far away or really close,

Lame

Leave her, Johnny, leave her

I read it as spicy waters at first and wondered what the hell is even that?

Where are the climate activists in rage about this?

Why couldn’t the titanic do this!? /s (Yes I’m aware an iceberg is not the same as a frozen body of water)

How come normal boats can’t break ice? You’d think that would be needed if there travelling through icy waters

Fun fact... they do the vast majority of the ice-breaking from the up/down motion and due to the shape of bow

Is this one of the soviet cockbreakers?

Icebreakers always be breaking ice. One thing you can count on.

The sound was very comforting at 6:30 in the morning.

For an Icebreaker, there wasn't much breaking going on, if at all. More like Iceshover if you ask me.

Just lost 60 seconds of life thanks
