| Summary: | A man and woman identified as Captain George Comer and his wife (Julia) sit outdoors with several other people. Inscribed on the reverse: "Capt. & Mrs. Comer/at Miss parkers/ Aug. 1925". Lifestyle Livelihood Title supplied by cataloger. 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. He and Julia Chipman married in 1878. The two unmarried Parker sisters were family friends of the Comers. |
