Summary
USRC Bear (left) and SS Corwin tied up in the ice at Nome roadstead, Alaska, the first arrivals of the 1914 shipping season. The Bear was the closest thing to an icebreaker operating in Alaska, and the Corwin (a former revenue cutter and usually the first commercial ship to reach Nome) the next closest. For this year it was arranged that Bear would clear a channel with Corwin following, and the other waiting steamers would follow the channel they made (New York Times, 31 May 1914. "Cutter Bear to go for Karluk's men") This version is cropped from the original.
