This paper describes the design and construction of two small icebreakers for operation exclusively in the fast-flowing Niagara River above the celebrated falls. Special features of these purpose-built craft-which due totheir dangerous operating environment include many redundant systems - are presented. Results of maneuvring trials and model tests are given, alongwith a comparison between hull forms of the two vessels - Ontario Hydro's 'Niagara Queen II' and the 'William H. Latham', operated by the New YorkPower Authority.
