Ice Bound Ship Freed

After spending nearly a week stuck in ice near Cleveland, two Canadian Coast Guard ice breakers have freed an American freighter.

The S.S. Arthur Anderson was freed yesterday and one of the ice breakers cleared a path for it to the Detroit River.

It's now safely in a Detroit port near the Ambassador Bridge.

A U.S. Coast Guard report said the Anderson was the last ship in radio contact with the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald before it sank in a Lake Superior storm in 1975 killing all 29 on board.
