Английская Википедия:H. M. Wilson
Шаблон:For Шаблон:Italic title The H. M. Wilson is a tugboat especially designed for service in Churchill, Manitoba, the only Arctic Ocean port connected to the North America railroad grid.[1][2]
The vessel was designed by the well-known naval architectural firm, Robert Allan Ltd.[2]
She was designed to be broken down into several loads that could each be shipped on a railroad flatcar, to be reassembled in Churchill.[2]
She was designed with a relatively flat bottom, due to the lack of any nearby ports with maintenance facilities.[2] When her hull needs to be serviced or inspected, she beaches herself.
She is equipped with a water cannon, for fighting fires.[2]
She was built to operate in icy waters.[2]
