NEW YORK - A Coast Guard C-130, based out of Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., and carrying members of the International Ice Patrol, stationed in New London, Conn., flies past an iceberg in the waters near Newfoundland, Canada, June 10, 1997. The mission of the International Ice Patrol is to monitor iceberg locations near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and provide updates to the maritime community. The tragic sinking of the passenger liner RMS Titanic in 1912 prompted the maritime nations with ships transiting the North Atlantic to establish an ice patrol in the area.
