  • Proposed ASPIRE White Paper – “Search for the USS BEAR”
    Proposed ASPIRE White Paper – “Search for the USS BEAR” Contact Information Bradley W. Barr, Ph.D. Bruce F. Buckley [email protected] [email protected] ONMS Maritime Heritage Program USCG Auxiliary (617) 827-5472 (860) 391-3364 Willing to Attend Workshop Yes Target Name Shipwreck of the US Revenue Cutter BEAR Geographic Area of Interest Northwest Atlantic Relevant Subject Area Maritime Archaeology Description of Topic or Region Recommended for Exploration Brief Overview of the Feature: In the entire maritime history of the United States, few ships have been routinely identified as “iconic” and “legendary”, and none more historically- significant than the US Revenue Cutter BEAR. Largely associated with polar exploration, and particularly its Arctic service, the ship’s history is a series of compelling stories of bravery in the face of peril, dedication to duty, and legendary exploits. Built in Scotland originally as a sealer in 1874, for the first ten years of service, she operated as part of the commercial sealing fleet off Newfoundland. Purchased by the US Government, it was put into service by the US Navy as part of the rescue fleet for the Greely Expedition to the Arctic in 1884, and first came to world- wide acclaim as the vessel that rescued the few survivors of that disastrous expedition. In 1885, the BEAR was transferred from the Treasury Department for service in the Arctic as a Revenue Cutter, and for an unprecedented 41 years ably patrolled the Arctic, saving lives and dispensing justice in this remote and often challenging region. Between 1886-1895, the captain of the BEAR was the legendary "Hell Roaring Mike" Healy, the first person of African-American descent to command a ship of the US Government.

  • A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111
    Power At Sea: A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-20111 Brian Benjamin Crisher Florida State University Mark Souva Florida State University Abstract Naval power is a crucial element of state power, yet existing naval datasets are limited to a small number of states and ship types. Here we present 147 years of naval data on all the world’s navies from 1865 to 2011. This country-year dataset focuses on warships with ship-based weapons capable of using kinetic force to inflict damage on other structures or peoples. After identifying a country’s active naval forces, we create a measure of naval power based on the aggregate tonnage of the active ships. Additionally, we create count variables for ship types such as aircraft carriers or battleships. This paper introduces the country-year data, describes variables of interests for use in country-year, dyadic, or systemic studies and suggests potential questions of interest scholars could explore using the naval power dataset. 1 We are grateful to David Abitbol, Cameron Cankaya, and Spencer Willis for their hard work as coders on this project. The project also benefited from feedback and suggestions received from the reviewers of International Interactions. Dataset, replication files, and online appendix can be downloaded from the International Interactions Dataverse webpage: http://dvn.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/dv/internationalinteractions. The naval data will also be available at www.briancrisher.net. Address correspondence to Brian B. Crisher, Department of Political Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA.

She was built by Alexander Stephen & Son in their Dundee Shipyard (Yard No. 56) on the east coast of Scotland. She was completed in 1874 and delivered to W. Grieve of Greenock, Scotland. She spent the first ten years of her life getting her sea legs with a sealing fleet operating off Newfoundland. World-wide fame came to the Bear in the early 1880s shortly after the historic Greely Expedition to the Arctic came to a disastrous end. The Expedition, under the command of the then First Lieutenant Adolphus Washington Greely, U.S. Army, was one of two groups dispatched to the Arctic to set up a series of observation stations. Despite elaborately made plans, a series of misfortunes left Greely and his party stranded in the pitiless Arctic winter without adequate food and clothing. To assist the Greely party, the United States Navy organized a rescue fleet of three ships, consisting of the USS Bear, USS Thetis and the USS Alert. On 22 June 1884, less than two months after her departure, the Bear sighted the pitiful remnants of the expedition.
