The Norbryn incident of 1955

 


Nosing the Norwegian freighter Norbryn to. ward a Quebec dock, the pilot prepared for a routine landing. But instead of stopping, the Norbryn, fighting strong winds and a running tide, plowed steadily onward, cut a slice in the dock and, as the tide ran out, hung helplessly suspended. At high tide four tugboats pulled her off, with a six-inch hole in her bow.
