Crew from the Coast Guard Cutter Penobscot Bay conducts ice rescue operations on the Hudson River. Communication between the crew and the service member deployed to rescue is critical and hand signals are often employed in pulling a victim to safety. Homeported in Bayonne, N.J., this Bay-class icebreaking tug is responsible for ice-covered waterways in New York City and the Hudson Valley as well as throughout coastal New England.
