Helicopter Drags Minesweeper: A U.S. Marine Sea Stallion helicopter drags a magnetic minesweeping device through the approach to Port Said harbor in Egypt, April 24, 1974. The device is equipped to determine various types of acoustic magnetic mines. British and American experts, using sonar, will jointly make a shadow map of the canal, spotting underwater obstacles. Afterwards, Egyptian divers will identify, remove or detonate the obstacle. The sweep preceded the U.S. helicopter carrier USS Iwo Jima, which is anchored in Port said harbor to begin the clearing operation
