Harry is referred to in the North as Comer's [Captain George Comer) "mate" and was the leader of a group of Iglulik Inuit known as the Aivilik or Aivillingmiut. These Inuit of the west coast region of Hudson Bay were closely associated with Comer and the American whalers for many years. 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.
