Image Title: [Ice-breaking vessel used on the St. Lawrence Seaway in Quebec, Canada.]
Image Caption: Mikula trip to Godbout, January 1928. [The CGS Mikula was a coal-fired ice-breaking ship built by Canadian Vickers Ltd. in 1916 that the Canadian Coast Guard used from 1923 to 1937 to break up ice in the St. Lawrence Seaway. This image was taken when the ship stopped at Godbout on the North Shore of the Seaway in the Canadian province of Quebec in the winter of 1928.]

[Harold V. "Pete" Hart (b. 1898) graduated in 1922 from Syracuse University with a B.S. in forestry and worked forty years as an industrial forester for St. Regis Paper Co., primarily in the Province of Quebec, Canada, until his retirement in 1964. In 1976 Hart reminisced about his life and work experiences in an oral history interview conducted by Elwood R. Maunder, executive vice president of the Forest History Society; a final transcript of the interview resides in the Society's archives. This image is one of a small collection of approximately seventy images that were apparently donated to the Society to supplement the interview.]
