Description: The Coast Guard cutter USCGC Tackle (WYTL-65604) breaks ice on the Kennebec River near Bath, Maine for flood relief while a local resident skis down the river with his dog. Melting snow drains into the ice-choked river, threatening to flood towns from Gardiner, Maine, to Bath, Maine. Coast Guard cutters break the ice to allow the snowmelt to drain harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.
