The SAINT CHRISTOPHER is an American-built rescue tug that served in the British Royal Navy in World War II. After the war she was decommissioned from the Royal Nay and sold for salvage operations in the Beagle Channel. After suffering engine problems in 1954, she was beached in 1957 in Ushuaia’s harbor where she now serves as monument to the shipwrecks of the region. Nestled at the southern tip of South America, Ushuaia is known as the southernmost city in the world.

Creyk; transferred to the United Kingdom under lendlease 24 April 1944; and commissioned as HMS Justice at Boston, Massachusetts, the same day, Lt. J. S. Allison, RNR, in command. During the remainder of World War II, Justice served as a rescue tug in the Royal Navy. She reportedly served at the Normandy invasion in June 1944. Justice was returned to the U.S. Navy on 20 March 1946 and redesignated BATR-20. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 3 July 1946 and sold 3 October 1947 to Leopoldo Simoncini of Buenos Aires as the Costa Rican-flagged St. Christopher. In 1953 she was chartered for salvage operations in Beagle Channel on the sunken Hamburg South America Line ocean liner SS Monte Cervantes along with several Argentine Navy vessels. After suffering engine trouble and rudder damage in 1954, she was laid up at Ushuaia.

I have visited one of the Norilsk-class (can’t remember the name) back in the early 1990s. This was of all places in Berau, Kaltim, Indonesia, where I was doing a “Loss Prevention Study” for an insurance company. She came from Houston with equipment for the construction of a pulp mill: [web.kertas-nusantara.com](http://web.kertas-nusantara.com) I remember she had Russian and Ukrainian (Black Sea fleet) crew but not sure if still Russian flag. I noticed especially the notch at the stern and the thickly insulated entrance doors to the accommodations/bridge. PS\> Bank Line had 4 of them on the US to South Pacific run for some years. ---

Maybe I missed her, but was the Coast Guard cadet-training ship on this forum? There is also the no-name ship in Baltimore, the Taney and the Ingham, which I believe is now in Key West. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/5/6/560190e3a906c61668ac2a7570e8f7d80075be53.png) ---

Some impressions of the steam icebreaker (“Eisbrecher”) **Stettin** , built in 1933, and still in operation for enthusiast cruises. She is maintained and crewed by a team of volunteers. The Stettin is powered by a coal fired triple expansion steam engine, and all moving parts in the engine room, including pistons and crankshaft are without covers, an awe-inspiring sight, when underway. The term “oiler” really comes to its own on this ship, as only the major moving parts are continuously lubricated, whereas smaller or special parts have to be oiled manually all the time, with the ship carrying stores of various dedicated lubricants. ![IMG_4373](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/8/3/83bb5897390ab95f65abc5914fe4014dcc200813.jpeg) ![IMG_4337](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/f/f/ff2f8861baa83933b8a768443e8703bfe443b28a.jpeg) ![IMG_4339](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/7/1/715d125de0011edc342dfdc7bacf545a902a801f.jpeg) ![IMG_4363](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/6/7/67637c210aada3ba8809035a9d8c7ee7cb5cef1d.jpeg) ![IMG_4357](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/7/0/7071e890297f6bc8cf95c912b9b1fcd063b49a3a.jpeg) ---
