Title: Bear -- Crew Lists
Post by: Randi on 01 November 2012, 04:05:18

If you run across crew lists, please post the link to the pages here - like we did for the instrumentation pages.  There seem to be 2 types of pages - lists of sailors joining the ship, and then one for those who died or left the ship.  It isn't necessary to transcribe the names, but if you are feel like, please go right ahead.  At some point, the names from these lists will be added to the SODA database.
Thanks,
Kathy

I think it is U.S.R.M. - United States Revenue Marine
See the top of the page with the captain's name.
(Very strange S, but see "Rev. Str" at the top of the previous page: http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ow3/final/USRC%20Bear/vol065/vol065_140_0.jpg)

Quote

The United States Revenue Cutter Service, officially the Division of Revenue Cutter Service, was established in 1790 as the Revenue-Marine by then-Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, to serve as an armed maritime law enforcement service. It operated as the Revenue-Marine until July 1894, when it was renamed as the Revenue Cutter Service.

Surgeons were invited civilians, not commissioned officers at this time and so Gleaves is not recorded by the Revenue Service.  I believe he was Christopher C. Gleaves, doctor, a registered voter in California in 1892.

Just thought I would mention that the log keeper in the 1894 voyage to Alaska and Siberia writes his "o" like "v" in the weather conditions box. It is obvious he means "o" because it is often combined with "f" or "m" and in the weather remarks you will often see "overcast" when there is what looks like a "v" in the weather code.

In 1895 he was formally charged with misconduct by 25 officers of the Bering Sea Patrol, relieved of his command and ordered before a court martial. Captain Michael Healy was found guilty and suspended from duty for four years.
