A place worth remembering
A hull designed for moving ice
The Fram Museum at Bygdøynes houses the polar ship Fram. Its page says the hull was designed so that pack ice would lift the ship rather than force it under. It describes oak ribs bolted two together and laid close, and an outer ice sheathing of greenheart fastened so that ice could tear it off without seriously damaging the hull.[1]
