DIANA - Arctic expedition, just before sailing [MacMillan's ship], July 2, 1913 (LOC)

  Wikipedia has this to say about the Crocker Land Expedition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocker_Land_Expedition, which was led by Donald Macmillan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Baxter_MacMillan

  I love how the supplies were run down the dock on rail trucks. There's a delivery horse+buggy for Sozodont, a mouth wash. Wonder how long the members of the expedition were worried about their breath. The links @amphalon provided describe just how treachorous the trip was. They seem to have been a bit fanciful in their choice of supplies. Anyone know why the flag atop the center mast says "DIIN"?

• Rob Ketcherside said:

  Compare the photo to one taken of the construction of the Battleship New York. The building on the right of both photos is the same. I guess that in this photo, we are looking across at the construction site of the New York? (a year after the New York was completed)

• Wystan said:

  Flag atop the center mast says "Diana," the name of the ship.

• Rob Ketcherside said:

  Woops, you're right!
