International Ice Patrol

node

The standing iceberg-monitoring service created directly out of the Titanic loss. American vessels began patrolling the Grand Banks shipping lanes in 1913, and the 1914 SOLAS convention formalised the arrangement, funded by the maritime nations whose ships benefit and operated by the United States Coast Guard. It surveys the limits of iceberg drift each season and broadcasts them to shipping; no vessel heeding its published limits has been lost to ice in the patrolled region.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  30. Evidence
  31. Ice patrols of the North Atlantic shipping lanes began in response to the 1912 loss and were formalised by the 1914 SOLAS convention; the Patrol is funded by participating maritime nations and has been operated by the US Coast Guard since, publishing seasonal iceberg limits to shipping.
  32. Required lifeboat and raft capacity for all persons carried, lifeboat drills, watertight subdivision standards, a continuous radio watch at sea, and the establishment of a North Atlantic ice patrol; entry into force was overtaken by the First World War and its substance carried into SOLAS 1929.
