| Summary: | A group of Inuit in winter dress stand outdoors at Hudson Bay, Canada, 1897-1912. Several hold what appear to be metal cups identified as obtained from the American whalers. Lifestyle Title supplied by cataloger. Information from original envelope identifies this as Photo 114. 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. |
