SS Manhattan was an oil tanker constructed at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts, that became the first commercial ship to cross the Northwest Passage in 1969. Having been built as an ordinary tanker in 1962, she was refitted for this voyage with an icebreaker bow in 1968–69. Registered in the United States at the time, she was the largest US merchant vessel as well as the biggest icebreaker in history.

In 1965, she was taken to Portland, Oregon via the Columbia River, to be cleaned and used to transport 50,000 tons of grain. The size and draught of the ship required careful preparations for her transit on the river.

Manhattan remained in service until 1987. After an accident in East Asia she was scrapped in China.

"The model arrived yesterday in perfect condition.  It is absolutely beautiful and I could not be happier. Thank you so very much. One quick question concerning my model. I did not find a “nameplate” – you know, the brass plaque stating vessel’s name, shipbuilder, month/ year of build, main dimensions and deadweight. I do not know if this was an oversight on your part or whether this is an “extra”. If it is an extra and you could provide we with a nameplate, I would be pleased to pay additionally for it. Again thank you so much for the beautiful model. I could not be happier. Very best regards, Peter"

"Nameplate safely received, in place and just perfect. Thank you  so very much.  You will be hearing from my son Jason K. in the near future and I myself would like to do one more, finances permitting. The model makes me happy each time I pass it – usually 5-6 times daily. Very best regards Peter"
