USCGS #107 Penobscot Bay Northbound Chops Point, Kennebec River 01-28-18

I had never photographed the Ice Breakers working the Kennebec River this early, but because of the January Thaw and the accompanying rains and ice jams it was decided to send them up the river early. The Penobscot Bay is breaking up an ice jam at Chops Point. They would work here several hours and it would be another day before they reach Richmond where it will turn.
