Talk:Apu (1899 icebreaker)

A detail about a yard[edit]

She was repaired at the Crichton-Vulcan shipyard, who was paid FIM 1.25 million for the work, and on 15 December 1923 her name was translated to Apu, meaning "assistance" in Finnish.

Crichton-Vulcan was formed in 1924, so presumably the vessel was either repaired at Ab Crichton or Ab Vulcan. --Gwafton (talk) 17:36, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll re-check the reference once I'm back in Finland. Tupsumato (talk) 21:05, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Better late than never. The shipyard was Ab Crichton. Tupsumato (talk) 13:06, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
