Summary: | Several Inuit children are inside a snow house, Hudson Bay, ca. 1897-1912. Infrastructure Lifestyle Title supplied by cataloger. The number etched into the plate appears to be "4." 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. |
