Hoping to break up slow-moving chunks of ice causing trouble along the St. Clair River, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard dis patched three ice cutters this week.
The cutters — the Neah Bay, the Mobile Bay and the Mackinaw — were joined by the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Samuel Risley.
The vessels split up to attack both sides of the 9-mile ice jam that begins near Marysville in St.
Clair County. It’s causing high water levels to the north and dangerously low levels south of Harsens Island.
