USAV LT. Raymond Zussman (FS-246) circa 1950 when first acquired by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS),
She replaced the damaged by fire MV Penguin as the FWS's Pribilof Islands tender. Renamed MVPenguin II, she transported cargo to and from
the islands until it she deemed too small and inadequate. She was retired in 1963 and sold.

A baidar, or "bidarrah," is towed out to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Bureau of Commercial Fisheries refrigerated cargo ship MV Penguin II
to unload her off the Pribilof Islands. The lack of docking facilities for Penguin II in the Pribilofs necessitated this time-consuming method of unloading
her.
