Library search for literature in the field of design of river icebreakers was made. The purpose of this search was to collect, review and make documentation of Russian and German literature, published between 1967 and 1972, which was pertinent to the main subject. Special reference was given to structural design, propulsion, and to materials and processes used in construction as well as to physical properties of ice, to icebreaking theory and methods, and to problems related to the interaction between the icebreaker and ice. This report describes the main features of the work, its scope, sources, and results. It contains technical information on the documentation and on copyright clearance. Bibliographical data, abstracts, and key words of all references included in this research are listed in numerical order within seven subject categories. (Author)
