International Ice Patrol - 1948. This shot was made from under the wing of a converted B-17, a dangerous bit of rendezvous, plane - berg - and the USCGC Mendota. Taken from a converted B-17. Opportunities to take photos such as this come few and far between because of persistent fogs that blanket the Grand Banks area after the first of May. 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 evidence by the fact that practically all commercial radio transmission ceases during these broadcasts. The International Ice Patrol along the steamer lanes of the North Atlantic is conducted by the United States Coast Guard. Coast Guard cutters and planes assigned to the patrol are based at Argentina, Newfoundland.
