International Ice Patrol - 1948. Aboard a Coast Guard cutter on ice patrol. Here the Ice Observation Officer is shown marking the position of icebergs reported in or near the steamer lanes of the North Atlantic. All reports of bergs are investigated by the Coast Guard cutter on patrol. Combined air and surface operations and the effective use of radar and loran by Coast Guard patrol units contributed to the success of the 1948 International Ice Patrol. It was the mission of the 1948 patrol to locate and report ice conditions constituting a menace to navigation, to determine set and drift of icebergs, to collect weather information and surface and sub-surface oceanographic data, and to keep all interested parties and commercial shipping informed thereof. The importance to mariners of "ice broadcasts" is evidenced by the fact that practically all commercial radio transmission ceases during these broadcasts. The International Ice Patrol along the steamer or the North Atlantic is conducted
