A Coast Guard history lesson
 

U.S. Revenue and Coast Guard Cutter Bear

This is about the original Revenue Cutter Bear. The pic in my avatar illustrates a painting on board the current USCGC Bear WMEC-901. It's a rendition of "old Bear, new Bear".

Enjoy the read.

Beautiful old ship, Tim!!!!!!!!

I think that vessel had other thoughts, than to be a bar/restaurant.

Her journeys were many. Her journeys were far too memorable than to spend the rest of her days moored at a dock.
