    The shipping lanes haven’t changed much. The priority is still to cross the Atlantic from the English Channel to New York in the shortest distance.

    As a direct consequence of the sinking of Titanic, the International Ice Patrol was formed to keep track of ice from point of origin throughout its transit through shipping lanes. These days it’s an aerial and satellite patrol.
