Ships, Unable to Make Headway, Tie to Iceberg Ships sailing in the North Atlantic At-lantic and the oceans surrounding Antarctica are sometimes unable to progress against strong head winds and surface currents, says Collier's. On the other hand, icebergs ice-bergs are not affected by these factors owing to their size and depth, but are moved only by deep currents. When possible, therefore, a ship in such a predicament will tie itself it-self to an iceberg that is going its way.
