I was at Rathtreavor beach last night watching for the ms Veendam sail north when the United States Coast Gaurd Cutter "Healy" The largest Ice breaker in the World passed abeam of the beach.

Holy cow this thing is huge. It is probably heading to Seattle.

Huge? It's 32 metres shorter than the Coastal boats and 5 metres narrower. She is, however, a very impressive ship.
