ExxonMobil in Alaska: Voyage receives award

In 1972, the Offshore Technology Conference Achievement Awards for Companies, Organizations and Institutions recognized Humble Oil & Refining Co. for its 1969 voyage through the Northwest Passage with its ice-breaker/oil tanker.

The SS Manhattan was the first commercial ship to traverse the Northwest Passage, thereby contributing to marine history and technology and to scientific knowledge of the Arctic. The voyage also stimulated the interest of governments and commercial enterprises in developing the Far North.
