| Caption | One of Canada's seafaring heroes, Captain Robert H. 'Bob' Bartlett, conducted more than 40 voyages in the far North and sailed over 200, 000 miles in Arctic waters. Bartlett navigated the ship 'Roosevelt' around 133 miles of the pole to participate in Peary's successful attempt to reach the North Pole. Crucial to many arctic endeavors, Bartlett is well-known for his rescue undertakings when the 'Karluk' was crushed in the Arctic ice in 1913.
This photograph of Bartlett posing with a white dog is likely from a visit to Seattle later on in his career around the late 1920s. |
