SS Sampo, 1898
Photograph of Steamship Sampo a newly constructed ice-breaker, built by Armstrong, Whitworth and Co. for the Senate of Finland, 1898. This vessel was novel, in being one of the first ice-breakers to have a propellor at the bow to help break through ice. The bow propellor disturbed the water supporting the ice, which made the ice less resistant to the ice-breakers bow. She was intended to work at the port of Hango, keeping the port open through the winter months
