Iceburg! -

Ocean Station Bravo, the most likely spot to see iceburgs that had been calved from the fields of the North Atlantic shelf. This moderately sized burg is over one mile away and still looks large enough to tear us up should we strike it...and it is! The mass of the frozen water is greater than Sebago and it would be difficult for us to even tow it.

RMS Titanic sank not far from this area in April 1912. Not long afterward the International Ice Patrol was formed and Ocean Station duties became part of the history of the Revenue Cutter Service.
