Talk:SS Florizel

New York, 1918

Researching bio for Alfred Holland Smith I found that during the unusually cold winter Smith (then a Federal Director for the USRRA in Eastern US) hired some SS Florize or Florizel (the newspaper scan isn't perfect) to break up ice in New York harbour, paying out of his own pocket. Could it be this Florizel or something else? East of Borschov (talk) 17:36, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would say yes. See "INSURANCE MEN SEE FIRE PERIL HERE :Exchange Names Committee to Aid Protecting Plants to Get Coal Supply. TALK OF RAISING RATES A.H. Smith Charters the Florizel, Famous as an Icebreaker, to Open Up Channels Here. Promises of Better Delivery.. (1918, January 12). New York Times (1857-1922),p. 15. Retrieved June 9, 2010, from ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2006). (Document ID: 102656413).". Judging by a quick search she may have been used again around February 6 to break ice in the harbor (probably after a trip back and forth from Newfoundland), left again for Newfoundland and sank on the return trip --Erp (talk) 05:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
