Your vessel is being assisted through an ice field in Thunder Bay by the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Alexander Henry. The starboard lookout reports that the icebreaker has run up the code flag "N" (November). What action should you take?

Correct Answer: Option A — Stop your engines

International and Great Lakes ice escort protocols dictate that when an icebreaker hoists code flag "N" (November), assisted vessels must immediately stop their engines to prevent collision with the icebreaker or running up into the ice astern.
