Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions

“Friday morning, June 23, 1893, was raw and disagreeable, with a light, drizzling rain, as my tug cast off from a Philadelphia pier, and went puffing down the dull grey expanse of the Delaware to meet the Falcon.” -Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, published in 1898
