Summary[edit]

Description Lot 2282-6: Spring Floating. Something new in spring plowing takes place as this Coast Guard cutter heads into the crust of a North Atlantic ice pack. The spring thaw breaks such floating fields off from far northern glaciers, they drift into the North Atlantic shipping lanes, and the Coast Guard cutters and planes go out again to begin their vigilant annual patrol, suspended during World War II. Photograph released January 1946. Official U.S. Coast Guard Photograph. Photographed through Mylar sleeve. (2015/10/09).
