Oakpeha and Bill Solomon, another native, insisted, however, it was not. Charles D. Brower, veteran whaler, said there was only a bare possibility it might be one of the old-time oak built ships, famous for their ability to resist the ice "It is fifty years since the seven great whaling ships floated out into the unknown and became fast in the ice, with a hundred or more "It is hardly possible that one of those ships could have survived until now, but strange things have happened in the ice pack."
