Description
I did this pencil drawing (sketch) about 43 years ago, it's of the Barkentine SS Bear of Oakland, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd requested that the City of New York put Bear up for auction so he could buy her, this was done, but Byrd almost lost the ship when a scrap dealer unexpectedly bid $1,000 for her. Byrd informed the scrapper of his intentions, bid $1,050, and acquired the ship, Bear was renamed Bear of Oakland & sailed for Boston to refit, the old barkentine sailed from Boston on 25 September 1933 in company of the steamer Jacob Ruppert, bound for New Zealand, she finally arrived at Wellington, NZ, on 6 January 1934
