English:
Appearing very different from its last Greenland visit in 1884, the USS
Bear
returned in 1944. Unlike in 1884, the
Bear
relied on a Coast Guard crew during World War II. As part of the Greenland Patrol, it cruised Greenland’s waters and, in October 1941, brought home the German trawler
Buskø
, the first enemy vessel captured by the U.S. in WWII. (Coast Guard photo)
