Plotting Ice Charts. An ice chart giving an overall picture of the 1959 iceberg situation in the Grand Banks region is kept current by Liet. Commander Robertson Dinsmore, USCG, executive officer and operations officer, at International Ice Patrol Headquarters in Argentia, Newfoundland. Using ice reports received from Coast Guard observation planes and cutters on ice patrol, other military and civilian aircraft and ships plying the North Atlantic routes, he indicates location of bergs with small triangles and underneath marks dates when sighted. To know the location and movements of bergs is important to Lieut. Commander Dinamore for it is his responsibility as assistant to the Commander, International Ice Patrol, to see that shipping interests are kept abreast of the most accurate ice information possible, and to assign the areas to be covered by the patrol planes and cutters. Mariners are warned of ice locations by bulletins broadcast twice daily by Coast Guard radiomen at station NIK, Argentia.
