| Summary: | Ten Inuit women and children are seated in front of a skin tent in the Hudson Bay area of the Canadian Arctic, ca. 1897-1912. Infrastructure Lifestyle Title supplied by cataloger. Information from original envelope identifies this as # 21. Such tents provided shelter during summer. Taken by Captain George Comer (1858-1937), 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. |
