Tregurtha after report was received that it was beset by ice near the port of Duluth on Lake Superior, April 3, 2026. The SPAR arrived on scene and broke the ice as part of Operation Taconite, which allows commerce to flow in the upper Great Lakes during the winter months. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by SPAR personnel)
