"Telescope journeys to the frozen waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence aboard the Canadian Coast Guard ship 'John A. MacDonald' as it travels through ice clogged waters to free the tanker 'Aime Gaudreau'. Profiled in the program is the shop's captain, Paul Fournier of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who discusses the dangers and the pleasures of piloting Canada's largest icebreaker through frozen waters."
