Description	Two Inuit men are engaged in a game of strength on the deck of the whaling schooner Era, west coast of Hudson Bay, Canada, 1900. Several observers of the contest can be seen on either side and behind the two. On reverse: "Natives playing their games on board the ERA."
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. The schooner Era was built in 1847 at Boston, Massachusetts. She was a New London whaling vessel until her last voyage out of that port in 1892; her masters included James Monroe Buddington, John O. Spicer, and George Comer. She was wrecked off Miquelon Island, July 27, 1906. 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. Photograph is also identified elsewhere by Comer as: "Native eskimo game on deck to see which man has the strongest arm."
