How I, Phileas Fogg, came to Alaska and discovered the idea of my new Husky Salmon Chip. I was a stow away hiding from a detective, Mr. Fix, who thinks I robbed a bank in Russia. I escaped on the Coast Guard Ship Ice Breaker crossing the treacherous straights to meet up with my dog sled team.
Bear, which has been called the Coast Guard's equivalent of "Old Ironsides", was built in Dundee, Scotland in 1874 as a sealer and whaler. She was 198 feet in length and 1,700 tons, powered by a steam engine. Her strong wood construction and ice breaking ability and iron plating on her stem could be subjected to considerable ice pressure. But something else hit us broad-side just as we entered the port, it looked like a Giant Whale, I was thrown from the Ship onto dry land. I was able to find my dog sled team and delivery already loaded and ready to go.
