More shipwreck stuff: here's an amazing set of photographs depicting ice buildup on a vessel in frigid waters.
The ship depicted is apparently a Coast Guard vessel that was searching for a missing fishing boat; what happens in such cold climes is that the salt spray literally freezes to the rigging and the decks and basically every exposed surface. If this ice is not cleared diligently, the ship can become top-heavy enough to capsize -- which is assumed to have been the fate of the missing fishing boat. It's a haunting set of images.
