The '''[[USS Bear|USS ''Bear'']]''' was a dual steam-powered and sailing ship built with six-inch (15.2 cm)-thick sides which had a long life in various cold-water and [[ice]]-filled environs. She was a forerunner of modern [[icebreaker]]s and had an exceptionally diverse service life. According to the United States Coast Guard official website, ''Bear'' is described as "probably the most famous ship in the history of the Coast Guard."

Built in Scotland in 1874 as a steamer for sealing, she was owned and operated out of Newfoundland for ten years. In the mid-1880s, she took part in the search for the Greely Expedition. Her services also included the second expedition of Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd]] to [[Antarctica]], and again to the southernmost continent in 1941 to evacuate Americans at the beginning of World War II. She later served in patrol duty off the coast of Greenland for the [[United States Navy]].

On 10 April 2015, the day before MicroCon 2015 was scheduled to occur, President Baugh organized a group tour of Hollywood, California. The tour was led by local Los Angeles resident, Grand Duke Travis and his royal consort, Prince-Consort Dinny.

As a former professional actor and filmmaker, Grand Duke Travis was uniquely suited to lead the tour of Hollywood Boulevard. Also on the tour were King Christopher of Vikesland, Prince Arthur of Homestead, Baron Stogner, Commodore Jonathan Miller and his wife Katie Bellis Miller, in addition to President Baugh and the First Family of Molossia.

Matt Roth snapped this picture of them in the outer courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theater where Grand Duke Travis explained the history of the majestic location.
