The tugboat "Lajla" in Tornehamn during the construction of the national border track. Building railways in wasteland and in particular as isolated areas as these north of Kiruna demanded extensive efforts for transporting staff, supplies, equipment and materials. Up to Kiruna, transport was passed by quickly building a runable track from Gällivare. When the railing in the autumn of 1900 reached Torneträsk, it began to pass most of the necessary goods that road and further with the motorboat Laila along the line or winter time with sleds.

The Empress or India. The ship The Empress or India (Canadian Pacific Steamer Empress or India) in the port of Yokohama for departure to Vancouver.

Northwest Passage. The power of Arctic ice created a few tense moments when it forced the U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender SPAR (WAGL-403) close to the Coast Guard icebreaker Storis. Both locked in ice in Amundsen Gulf, the ships battled strong winds and ice pressure (August 1957). Smart seamanship prevented serious damage, though later underwater inspection in clear waters revealed the furious north had scored. Ice had sheared a blade of the ship's crew. Breaking out from the icey grip the Spar and Storis, accompanied by a third Coast Guard ship, the Bramble continued to James Ross Strait and thereon to Bellot Strait making hydrographic surveys as they proceeded. The ships completed the first successful deep=draft transit of 117-mile Bellot Strait from west to east on September 6, 1957.
