Read all about USRC Bear's general description, specifications and time line.

Notes:

1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated.

2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Any groups of links may refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank.

3. Logbook events have been formatted but not edited. The quality and quantity of transcribed information therefore varies, and may include up to 3 versions of the same data depending on the number of volunteers working on the originals.

At 4.45 stopped (85.9) and lay to and sent boat with Lieutenants Wheeler and Alexander to board the schooner which was flying the English flag and sealing flag. Found her to be "Pescawha" of Liverpool, NS, Briton M. Balcom, Master, with a crew of twenty-seven men, all white, including eight hunters. Vessel was provided with sealing licence and had eight boats and a regular seal hunting outfit including 9 rifles and 16 shotguns with ammunition and also salt. Found no entry in chooners log subsequent to April 18, 1909. Master stated that he captured the last seal on that date and that on May 4th 1909 he entered the harbor of Ucluelet, BC and sent ashore his catch of 430 seal skins. That he left said harbor on May 11th 1909 and proceeded to this locality to hunt sea otter. That he had been in this vicinity since June 4th hunting sea otter and that he intended to go to the Commander Islands to hunt sea;, and after August 1st next he would hunt seal ouside the sixty mile zone off the Pribilof Islands. The Master produced the vessel's original clearance from Victoria, BC under his sealing licence, dated February 11, 1909. The clearance was for sealing. In his outward bound manifest in his own handwriting, his cargo was stated to be sealing outfit and sea otter outfit. The master could show no clearance from the port he entered May 4th, but claimed there was no Custom House there. The vessel was searched and it was found that the boats and hunting outfits had been recently used and two unskinned sea-otter carcasses, but no seal skins were found.

The vessel was found within the area prescribed by the "Regulations of the Paris Tribunal of Arbitration" during the period of time in which fur-seal fishing is forbidden, and was not brought there by stress of weather, nor by thick or foggy weather, nor was she there in the ordinary course of navigation making the best of her way to any place, but was there by the voluntary act of her Master. She had recently used her boats and seal-hunting outfit and she was provided with the necessary salt for preserving seal skins. It could not be ascertained that she had been sealing and it was impossible to tell whether or not her Master contemplated sealing, therefore the vessel was not seized. But in view of the afiresaid suspicious circumstances, the Commanding Officer directed that the rifles and shot-guns be sealed up and that the Master be forbidden to break the seals prior to August 1st 1909, while the vessel remained within the areain which sealing is prohibited. This same was done and appropriate entry made in the log of the "Pescawha" by the boarding officers.

The position of the "Pescawhe" when boarded was as follows: SE end of Chirikoff Island bearing SWxW distant 13 miles. In the performance of the above duties the "Bear's" boat made

Vessel was provided with sealing license and ahd two boats and thirteen canoes, a regular seal hunting outfit including weight rifles and fourteen shotguns with ammunition; and also salt. Found an entry in the schooner's log subsequent to May 31st 1909. Master produced clearance from Fort Simpson, BC, for ballast, stores and outfit for fur-seal and sea-otter hunting, dated May 31st. Master stated that he had been sea-otter hunting in this vicinity since about the 11th instant, and intended to seal later off the Commander Islands and, after August 1st, also in the Bering Sea. Searched the vessel and found that the boats and hunting outfit had been recently used and found three unskinned sea-otter carcasses and three sea-otter skins on board but no seal skins. The vessel was not seized for the same reasons given under the case of the schooner "Pescawha" of this date. The rifles and shotguns were sealed as in the case of this latter named schooner, and an appropriate entry made in the log of the "Bayard" by the Boarding officer.

The position of the "Bayard" when boarded was as follows:- North end of Chirikoff Island bearing SW distant 13.0 miles. At request of Master, Surgeon went aboard the "Bayard" and gave medical treatment to one Indian hunter. Watch ends vessel lying to, boat alongside the "Bayard" with boarding officers.

1 January 1909

At 2:45 Commanding Officer came on board, having received word that a vessel was in distress near Point Loma. While preparing to get underway, the tug Bahada came in and it was learned that the schooner Alice McDonald of San Francisco was ashore on Shoals off Point Loma, and that the Bahada touched bottom trying to get a line to her. Also that the schooner was resting easily and the tug would go out to her in the morning and needed the assistance of the Bear to run a line to the schooner. Countermanded order for steam.

8:30, underway and out, the tugs "Dauntless" and "Bahada" standing down the bay. Found that the schooner was aground about 1/4 mile to the south-eastward of Point Loma light house. Stood around the gas buoy and worked over toward the schooner but the rough sea and shoal water would not permit the "Bear" to approach close enough to the schooner to be of service. Spoke the tug "Dauntless" and lowered a boat and put Gunner Gold on board with line firing gun. "Bear" lay by while tug made effort to shoot a line. At 11:10 "Dauntless" came alongside and reported that she could not get close enough to shoot the line. She decided to abandon further efforts until better weather. As the wind was hauling to Wd and moderating and the schooner's crew in no danger, the "Bear" turned and stood up bay for regular anchorage. 12:15, off beacon #3, dropped anchor underfoot and sent boat to a small yacht which was making signals for aid. Found her to be pleasure sloop "Aeolus" of San Diego, California, ashore on the flats. Attempted to tow her off, and, whaleboat being unsuccessful, sent cutter to help. Both boats being inable to float the yacht, ran out her anchor and sent a 3 inch line from the ship. Whille running the line the yacht floated, tide being flood.
