Northwest passage navigable before 1950 - what does this tell us about changes in Arctic ice cover?
You may not know about this, but in the 1930's and 40's the Northwest passage above Canada was successfully navigated a number of times by ships. As Mark Dickerson of the University of Calgary notes, In 1937 E. J. Gall made the transit in a small (60 foot long) wooden ship. You can see photos of it, and... show more
Northwest passage navigable before 1950 - what does this tell us about changes in Arctic ice cover Yahoo Answers
Best Answer: Your very first link is of the standard I've come to expect E. J. Gall talks of going with men prepared to 'winter over' he also talks of piled up ice, luck and 'going for it' and you interpret this as sailing straight through, as has been done recently, by ordinary ships.
Then there's the St Roch you seem to ignore the first voyage, for obvious reasons it took over a year and they were frozen in over winter, you talk up the 2nd voyage at just 86 days, in an open NWP it would take about 10 days or less.
And best of all the SS Manhattan, you provide no link at all again for pretty obvious reasons because any link would have detail about the SS Manhattan which was refitted as an icebreaker

Unfortunately Willy de Roos didn't think this was an easy trip in his specially strengthened yacht

"the cruise ship the MS Explorer made the journey as well."
You mean the IC Class ice strengthened cruise ship built specially for traveling in the Arctic and Antarctic waters.

Lets see if you can actually address the points raised instead of just throwing the usual insults.
beinghere: As you can see from his reply to me, he has little interest in facts and answers valid points by just repeating himself or with hostility.
Straight technical points like what type of ships the SS Manhattan & MS Explorer he ignores.
Meadow : "You just can't accept the truth, can you?"
If you ever post 'some truth' I will happily accept it! I'm not so good at accepting B/S and it seems I'm not alone.
Interesting had 2 thumbs up about 5 mins ago just after adding the last paragraph, had another window open looking at another question and suddenly in just a few minutes had 4 thumbs down don't you think that's just a little obvious meadow. Especially as after 4 hours no other denier is even willing to buy into this nonsense.
How long before All Black shows I wonder!
All Black(meadow) as it is now becoming pretty clear you are the same person, yes an open NWP would be quicker I thought I made that pretty clear, there was no "wihout meaning to" about it. But as I stated several times and you seem incapable of grasping 86 days is not open it is picking through very slowly to be an open commercial shipping lane you have to be able to sail straight through, and you can twist and squirm all you want, you can't answer that, as Meadow or as All black, can you !
