We have broken yet another starboard prob.
Seems to be one damaged prop per voyage and it seems to always be the Stbd one.

The two voyages for 1953 are done:

Spring (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hxN78cdpnGeHoakpK4rfTOLktBibxhmt)

Summer (https://drive.google.com/open?id=14YbAv_v2E9vqacD010VpKP431Taxkd3D)

During the summer voyage, the starboard propeller lost two blades due to heavy blue polar ice. They were at 79N on their way to Alert, but they had to turn back. For the rest of the way to Boston, their starboard propeller was free wheeling and their port propeller provided all their propulsion.

Sorry about that Boss, the berg just jumped out in front of me.    ;D
