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 and John O. Spicer. Captain George Comer of East Haddam served on her as mate under Captain Spicer. Comer was later master of the Era for several Arctic voyages out of New Bedford, 1895-1906. She was wrecked off Miquelon Island, July 27, 1906. Information on the Era and Captain Comer comes in part from the article Captain George Comer and the Arctic / by Fred Calabretta in The log of Mystic Seaport, Winter 1984, p. 118-131, and from For oil and buggy whips / by Barnard L. Colby, p. 178-182.
