The purpose of the expedition was to find and explore what was thought to be an Arctic land mass identified and named by explorer Robert Peary. The expedition concluded that the "land" was a mirage.<br>Probably 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, including the Crocker Land Expedition, and was noted for his studies of Arctic peoples and their environment.
