Slowly at first, trickles of freezing water seeped through the steel plates on her bow. The trickles became a flood, and Bayeskimo began to sink. Bayeskimo was one of hundreds of ships in the Hudson''s Bay Company''s fur-trade fleet. For much of the company''s history, they roamed Hudson Bay, the subarctic and beyond the Arctic Circle, servicing far-flung posts.
