From there the 115,000-ton ship, the most powerful in the U.S. merchant fleet, will turn westward into the passage itself, heading for Prudhoe Bay and the oilfields of Alaska's North Slope. Her mission is to test the feasibility of using supertankers to carry Alaskan oil to the markets of the U.S. East Coast. If all goes well, the Manhattan will make the perilous...
