Description	View of a group of Inuit with sleds and dogs, Cape Fullerton, Hudson Bay, Canadian Arctic. The whaling schooner Era can be seen in the background. Identified as "Natives ready to start on a [sic] expedition to Wager River, Jan. 25, 1904."
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Information from original envelope identifies this as Photo #66, #21. The number 21 is etched into lower right of emulsion on plate. 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. Citation: 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. 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.
