YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US Coast Guard cutters are busy trying to keep New York’s iced-over waterways moving, including freeing an NYPD Harbor Unit vessel that was beset by ice floes Tuesday.

A displaced polar vortex parked over the eastern U.S. has helped usher in days of subfreezing temperatures and caused many parts of the Hudson River and New York Harbor — one of the busiest in the country — to freeze over.

The Coast Guard Cutter Hawser broke the ice around a NYPD harbor vessel on January 27, just off Pier 86 on the west side of Midtown Manhattan, the Coast Guard’s Northeast District wrote on a social media post.

Ice could be heard crunching against the reinforced hull of the 65-foot-long Cutter Hawser. Thanks to the USCG Cutter Hawser’s small size, it is one of very few Coast Guard cutters capable of traveling through inland waterways from New York Harbor north to Lake Champlain near the Canadian border.
