The starboard side of U.S. Revenue Cutter Bear in its 1884 configuration for the Greely Relief Expedition (USS Bear). The modifications are in red. 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). These modifications were constructed using plans from the Smithsonian Institution Archives and plans from Mystic Seaport Museum.
