The U.S.Revenue Cutter BEAR is perhaps the most famous of all the cutters. Although many of these photos are not of the ship
herself, it will at least give you an insight into the every day life of the crew.
Most of these photos are on postcards, as was common during the period, and many date to the early 1900's.
NONE OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED BEFORE.
Enjoy your tour.
