(Vessel): Canadian built for the Canadian Coast Guard, it was the most powerful non-nuclear icebreaker in the world at the time of its construction. (Model): This radio-controlled model was built specifically for a Dept. of Transport display exhibited at Expo '67, in Montreal. Titled 'Little Sea', the display was meant to demonstrate ice breaking techniques, lighthouse supply runs, and buoy retrieval. These tasks were demonstrated with the use of the model icebreaker, two other remote-controlled ship models (1968.0863 and 1968.0865), and a model lighthouse (1974.0081).
