Disappointed this wasn't building canoes out of ice. That sounds more fun.

There was actually a plan to build ships out of ice during WWII, and then they came up with a better material which was wood pulp mixed with ice. It was stronger and took longer to melt. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Habakkuk
