Feb 23 Ice compelled Caribou to go to Louisburg- On her mid-week trip across the Cabot Strait last week, the SS “Caribou” was unable to get into Sydney owing to the harbor being blocked with ice, and had to go to Louisburg. It has not been unusual in recent years to encounter such ice troubles so early in the season. (TWS, pg. 1, Col. 3)
Feb 23 The severe frost of the past week has frozen the harbor over solidly and teams are now busily engaged hauling firewood to Sandy Point. (TWS, pg. 1, Col. 4)

Mar “… conditions N of Sable Island and in Cabot Strait improved during the month but heavy rafted pan ice was still moving out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and this route was still closed.” (IIP p20)
Mar 2 Owing to the ice floe in Cabot Strait the SS “Caribou” had to make Louisburg her connecting port on her trips for more than a week now. However the ice has not interfered with her making this port on her return trips. So far the fishermen have been interrupted little by ice and it is hoped this favorable condition will continue (Channel- Port aux Basques). (TWS, pg. 1, Col. 3)
Mar 2 North Sydney: Newfoundland Government steamer “Caribou” was forced to put into Louisburg to land passengers from Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, today after spending several hours outside North Sydney harbor, trying to break through heavy ice. The “Caribou,” in command of Captain Tavenor, had about 50 passengers aboard as well as mail and general cargo. (HH 03/03/1938 p9#7)
Mar 3 Canso: The SS “O-We-ra,” plying between the ports of Canso, Arichat and Mulgrave, was unable to make her return trip to Canso from Mulgrave Monday owing to ice conditions in the Strait of Canso. The ice-breaker “Brant” after breaking ice in Canso harbor will proceed up Chedabucto Bay to Guysboro. Steamer “Chedabucto” was delayed here overnight on account of ice conditions. (HH 04/03/1938 p12#7)
Mar 9 During the past weeks the SS “Caribou” has had to go to Louisburg, as Sydney Harbor has been blocked with ice. (TWS, pg. 1, Col. 3)

Mar 16 Ice harvesting from Humber Arm has been in progress the past week or ten days. The crop is a good one this year, 20-inch blocks of good blue ice. (TWS, pg. 2, Col. 3)
Mar 21 Reporting an uneventful trip from Newfoundland, the Old Colony passenger and freight steamer “Northern Ranger” was at Pier 22 yesterday. Gulf ice was sighted 100 miles south east of Scattarie. The “Northern Ranger” was over a course forty miles north of Sable Island and no ice was seen. The vessel encountered dense fog before reaching Halifax. (HH 22/03/1938 p12#8)
Mar 23 The ice is packed in close and no water can be seen in the Gulf. Many people attribute the ice as the cause to this wonderful weather. (TWS, pg. 2, Col. 5)
Mar 24 “Tahoe” field ice extending N as far as can be seen 44°44’N 59°47’W to 44°44’N 60°03’W. (IIP p.69#128)
Mar 26 The following radiogram [was] received from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter “Pontchartrain”: a.m.; Ice reported sighted today: … heavy rafted pan ice in all directions from St. Paul Island, Cape Breton, with some open water to the eastward. (HB 2534 Mar 30)
Mar 26 The Hydrographic Office at Boston Saturday ordered the ‘Great Circle’ route between North America and Europe ninety miles southward because of the early appearance of icebergs off Newfoundland. Ice was not due in that section for another week, the bureau indicated. The formal notice called for the immediate abandonment of ‘Track C’ in favor of ‘Track B.’ The North Atlantic route is divided into tracks, the bureau explained under an international agreement between commercial shipping agencies, for the purpose of safety. The order was a result of information dispatched by watching patrols two days ago. Vast quantities of slob ice a heavy skim, also were reported near the Grand Banks. (HH 28/03/1938 p14#8)
Mar 29 “Fort Amherst” widely separated strings of field ice 44°22’N 60°15’W. (IIP p.69#155)

Mar 30 On Mon. the SS “Caribou” was reported jammed in ice off Low Point, Cape Breton, on her way from North Sydney. A change in wind is necessary before she can get clear. (TWS, pg. 2, Col. 4)
Mar 30 North Sydney: The “Caribou” remained jammed in heavy ice off Low Point lighthouse near the entrance to Sydney harbor tonight, her fourth night in the floes. The “Caribou” left North Sydney Sunday evening for Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, but had proceeded only a short distance before a change of wind brought heavy ice inshore, jamming the vessel fast. Engines have been shut down and the ship is waiting for a west wind to break up the floes before she can proceed. It was estimated the ice extended about 30 miles off the harbor. Albert Briand, one of the passengers on the “Caribou” when she left Sunday, arrived here this afternoon, after walking ashore at Low Point. He left 24 other passengers aboard the vessel, making the trip with P J Cadegan of Glace Bay, and two members of the crew of the “Caribou,” Steve McDonald and Albert Matthews. The quartet took three hours to cover the 2 ½ miles separating the ship from shore, finding the ice treacherous at times. (HH 31/03/1938 p9#6)
Mar 31 North Sydney: The steamship “Caribou,” specially equipped to battle ice, seemed to be winning a five-day battle with close-packed ice off Sydney harbor, tonight. After fighting helplessly against the pack since Sunday night without moving more than 2 ½ miles off the coast, the “Caribou” had battled her way out of sight of land tonight, with grinding floes still surrounding her, but clear water is sight. As the “Caribou” forged slowly outward toward Port aux Basques, the ice-breaker “Montcalm” was gradually breaking her way toward port, conquering one of the worst jams in recent years. (HH 01/04/1938 p9#7)

Apr “The St. Lawrence Ice Patrol began about April 6 and the route through the gulf was open for traffic April 8. Heavy floes of rafted ice, however continued to move out on the southern side of Cabot Strait throughout the month and extended E of Scatari Island, Cape Breton Island, at least 55 miles. Ships entering the gulf passed close to Cape Ray, Newfoundland, in order to avoid ice which was repeatedly reported S of that point and open pans of ice existed within the Gulf of St. Lawrence along the track from Cape Ray to Anticosti during most of the month. (IIP p.20)
Apr 3 North Sydney: The 15 ton schooner “Mary Isabelle” arrived here today from Ingonish, CB, first schooner of the year to make port. Captain Donovan reported he had taken the shore route and had escaped most of the ice, which is fast disappearing. (HH 04/04/1938 p9#4)
Apr 5 The following radiogram [was] received from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter “Tahoe”: p.m. position, 43°10’N 51°48’W. The “Tahoe” relieved the “Pontchartrain” this date. (HB 2536 Apr 13)

Apr 6 The ice over Humber Arm is becoming weak in places, and on Sat. oxen broke through at several places. (TWS, pg. 2, Col. 4)
