Well well. A Texan has to teach the iceman about what a growler Iceberg
is.

I said

A bergy bit is about the size of a house. Both the bergy bit and the
growler are usually calved from icebergs.


Than Iceman said

That is incorrect..

So lets look at what the USCG Ice Patrol says about Growlers

http://www.uscg.mil/lantarea/iip/FAQ/FAQ_Icebergs.shtml

Q. What is the extreme range of iceberg locations?

A. The grey shaded area is the normal range of iceberg distribution.
The extreme icebergs/growlers are indicated. Some of the notable
extreme icebergs a

In 1926, the southernmost known iceberg (a growler) reached 30-20 N,
62-32 W (about 150 nm from Bermuda).
In 1883, a growler was located about 200 nm south of the Azores.
In 1907, an iceberg was sighted about 100 nm southwest of Fastnet,
Ireland.
In 1912, a growler was seen about 75 nm east of Chesapeake Bay, USA.
In 1912, the iceberg that the R.M.S. Titanic collided with was located
at 41-46N, 50-12W.

So Mooron are you telling me growlers are over 1100-over 3000 feet deep
dragging across the bottom of the Atlantic?

I dont think so.

Rotton ice is ice that is honeycombed and very easy to fall apart with
little temp change.
