notes:

The icebreaker Krasin distinguished herself as a rescue ship, an exploring vessel, an armed wartime escort and a pathfinder on the Northern Maritime Route. In the 1920s, she rescued the icebreaker Lenin and a German passenger ship Monte Servantes that had collided with an iceberg and been holed. She also rescued survivors of General Umberto Nobile`s ill-fated dirigible Italy expedition to the North Pole. In 1933, Krasin became the first ship to reach the northern shore of Novaya Zemlya.
During World War II, Krasin participated in Arctic convoys. Early in war, the icebreaker crossed the Pacific and passed through the Panama Canal to the east coast of the United States for repairs. She then continued her journey to Great Britain where she was armed with surface and antiaircraft guns and proceeded to Reykjavik, Iceland to join convoy PQ-15. She escorted the convoy through the North and Barents Seas, around the Kola Peninsula and into Murmansk.

Класс!!!! А где Вы эту Легенду нашли?

Margerretta #5 Tue 8 Feb 2005 16:31

Ледокол находится в Санкт-Петербурге на набережной Лейтенанта Шмидта, 22.
В начале 90-ых, в сложный для современной России исторический период, для того чтобы спасти корабль от продажи за рубеж по мизерной цене, экипаж судна обратился с просьбой в правительство - и "Красин" стал ледоколом - музеем. Этот статус спас его, предоставил шанс избежать трагической судьбы других проданных за рубеж кораблей.

Красин ?
Много о нем читал. Наверное и благодаря коменде он сделал так много.

А я еще одного "Красина" знал. Он затонул во время шторма в Черном море и его в подтопленном состоянии выбросило на берег недалеко от п.Лазаревское г.Сочи. там он пролежал десятки лет и служил волнорезом. А сейчас он почти истлел...
