'''SS ''Chelyuskin'''''<ref>Also ''Cheliuskin''.</ref> ({{lang-rus|«Челю́скин»|p=tɕɪˈlʲuskʲɪn}}) was a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[steamship]], reinforced to navigate through polar ice, that in 1934 became ice-bound in [[Arctic]] waters during a navigation along the [[Northern Maritime Route]] from [[Murmansk]] to [[Vladivostok]] and sank. 111 people were on board the Chelyuskin, and all but one were rescued by air. The expedition's task was to determine the possibility to travel by non-icebreaker through the [[Northern Maritime Route]] in a single navigation season.

It was built in [[Denmark]] in 1933 by Burmeister and Wain (B&W, Copenhagen) and named after the 18th century [[Russia]]n [[geographical pole|polar]] explorer [[Semion Chelyuskin|Semion Ivanovich Chelyuskin]]. The head of the expedition was [[Otto Yuliyevich Shmidt]] and the ship's [[Captain (nautical)|captain]] was [[Vladimir Voronin (Captain)|V. I. Voronin]]. There were 111 people on board the steamship, including Soviet cinematographers [[:ru:Трояновский, Марк Антонович|Mark Troyanovsky]] and [[:ru:Шафран, Аркадий Менделевич|Arkadii Shafran]] who documented on film the entire voyage, including the rescue. The crew members were known as ''Chelyuskintsy'', with the singular form "Chelyuskinets".
