HOVERCRAFT

Can anyone remember the hovercraft that used to zoom along the St Lawrence. I believe it started in the early 70s.
I guess it used to break up the ice but other than that what was it's purpose.

Sure do remember the Hovercraft at Expo my brother worked on it. He was in the Naval Reserve and that was his summer job, so I was able to sneak to the head of the line.  The year of Expo I was 21yrs. old what a great time in Montreal memories will live on forever.  Old Munich, My Fathers Mustach and just having fun in the pubs downtown.
