Model of Bear in 1874
The starboard side of U.S. Revenue Cutter Bear in its original (1874) configuration (SS Bear). The 3D scale at the bow of the ship represents 15 feet (1-foot increments from 1 to 5 feet and then 2-foot increments from 5 to 15 feet). This model was constructed using plans from the Smithsonian Institution Archives and plans from Mystic Seaport Museum.
