The McClure Strait has significance. In 1969 the 100,000 ton SS Manhattan, a converted oil tanker with a reinforced icebreaking bow attempted it and failed. The passage through McClure is more than 24 mile wide through its entirety and the US had claimed it was a passage through international waters. The Canadians still dispute it.

In realiy the strait was not “clear” of all ice and the claim the Passage was open is subject to debate.

Regretably, the media through lack of knowledge gets it wrong again.
