		Vincennes was ordered abandoned and destroyed to prevent her capture, and a slow match was set to the vessel's magazine while her men took refuge on other ships.

	Australian Antarctic Division - Restless Antarctic giant on the move again
		B15G turned up in Vincennes Bay at Casey on April 28th after a long, slow journey from the Ross Ice Shelf where it broke away, as part of a much larger iceberg, in March 2000.
		But it was difficult to tell, with visibility in the region over the past few days restricted due to low cloud and satellites unable to get clear pictures.
		Dr Smith said that while B15G could become grounded again elsewhere in Vincennes Bay it would be beyond Casey's horizon and unless something unusual happened with currents and winds to bring the iceberg back it was unlikely shipping would be disrupted next summer.
