| Summary: | A man identified as Captain George Comer of East Haddam poses on the deck of a vessel. He appears to be about to ring the vessel's bell. Livelihood Title supplied by cataloger. On mount, 14 x 10 1/4 in. Handwritten on mount below photo: ""From C.G.Y. King/ James L. Foord/ May 1926"". Captain George Comer (1858-1937) was a sealer and whaling captain from East Haddam. He went to sea while still in his teens and was later master of vessels from both New London and New Bedford. Comer participated in voyages involved in polar expeditions, and was noted for his studies of Arctic peoples and their environment. |
