The 282 photographic prints in this collection document voyages of the United States Revenue Cutters "Bear," "Corwin," and "Richard Rush" to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean in the 1880s and 1890s. The images depict the boats, Captain Michael A. Healy, Frank A. Healy (Healy's son), the crewmen of the afore-mentioned revenue cutters; Alaskan natives and their homes; and various views of the Alaskan wilderness and towns. The collection provides insight into the people and events the "Bear" and "Corwin" encountered on their voyages while under the command of Healy. The collection also depicts Alaskan native graves; missionaries; whaling ships; ice fields in the Arctic Ocean; J.B. Vincent, a survivor of the shipwrecked "Napoleon"; Francis "Frank" Fuller, murderer of Archbishop Charles John Seghers; Alaskan native umiaks and various artifacts; and reindeer stations. Photographers who contributed to this collection include H.W. Bradley, Edward DeGroff, Lt. C.D. Kennedy of the USRC Maine, Geoff Knight, William H. Rulofson, and I.W. Taber.
