zoomUSCG Cutter Bristol Bay breaks ice outside of Ashtabula, Ohio, Feb. 19, 2015 The Canadian Coast Guard is working to break free the cargo ship Arthur M. Anderson, which is beset in ice near Conneaut Harbor and turn it around in Lake Erie so it can head to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, for its winter layup. Canadian Coast Guard Ship Griffon, a 234-foot multi-mission medium icebreaker, has been called to assist as the US Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay had failed to assist the vessel as the ice was too thick for the tug to break. Arthur M. Anderson is beset in ice near Ashtabula, Ohio, Feb. 19, 2015   The Canadian Coast Guard Ship Griffon worked with the Bristol Bay to break a path to Cleveland, where the Bristol Bay will refuel and return to Detroit. The Arthur M. Anderson is currently outside of Conneaut Harbor awaiting assistance, the USCG said. The Bristol Bay is en route back to Cleveland. The Griffon will join up with the Bristol Bay and they will clear a path into Cleveland. The Bristol Bay will fill up on fuel and will resupply with food. Once a path is cleared into Cleveland, the Griffon will head out to Conneaut Harbor and break free the Anderson, the USCG added.
