| Riding the Revenue Cutter "Bear" to Point Barrow, Alaska in 1911 Jay Norton, a friend of Uncle Billy's, borrowed the Kodak 3A Folding camera when he went to Alaska in 1911 on the USRC Bear. Billy ended up with prints and a few negatives, plus a walrus tusk and an Eskimo belt. Unalaska is the town shown here. Other pages show some of the native peoples and a walrus hunt on the ice flows of the Bering Sea.. |

| The trained bear, above, is actually in St. Michaels, Alaska, while the other shots are of Unalaska, though it is not clear where the dock is in the photo at right. The ship is obviously the USRC Bear. Go to Peoples page Go on walrus hunt |
