Answer:
The Labrador Current has a tendency to sometimes go farther south and/or east than normal. This can produce hazardous shipping conditions, for it can carry icebergs into an area of the Atlantic where they are not usually found.
The Labrador Current and Gulf Stream usually meet right around the Cape Hatteras area. The clash between the cold and warm waters creates very rough waters. Many boat/ship wrecks happen where the two currents meet. This is one reason that area is known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic”

Answer:
Short answer : Iceberg right ahead.
long answer: Due to the melting of icecaps in Atlantic Ocean the current takes the icebergs through the shipping lanes... many don't survive as they melt but some lucky ones like the tragedy of titanic. Due to the tragedy, the sea patrol was created.
