Our Lady of Lourdes is a landlocked ship you can find metres from the Arctic Ocean. The best information I have is that it is from the 1930s and was used to get supplies to the remote Arctic communities.

There's an interesting story behind the boat. This website has more information on the boat than any other source
I could find: www.caotica.com/our-lady-of-lourdes-tuktoyaktuk1982. Part of it reads:
Our Lady of Lourdes was donated to the Northern missions by Pope Pius XI and she sailed the Beaufort Sea from 1931 to 1957 ... to deliver supplies to far-flung Catholic missions in the Arctic ...
You will find the boat next to the Catholic Church.
