Icebreaker Lenin

Thankyou for uploading your grandfather's photographs of the icebreaker Lenin and of him aboard her. Your photo of the ship is significantly better than the one with which the Wikipedia erticle had previously been illustrated. And the photo of your grandfather on deck, dressed in thick furs, and with the rigging behind him thick with ice, is very evocative.

I have put each image into what, to the best of my knowledge, are the right categories for each of them. Category:Vladimir Ilyich (ship, 1917) is particularly improved by your contributions! Best wishes, Motacilla (talk) 12:58, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help, much appreciated. I look forward to being able to contribute more. Alastair Auldal (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
