Provenance
This bear's original and existing owner became the first woman to sail the Atlantic singlehanded in both directions in a monohull. Although this bear did not join her on the voyage he has enjoyed a somewhat unconventional life with her.
His eyes were removed the a concerned mother when the bear was first purchased.
