For additional photographs related to the embarkation of Commander Richard Byrd's Antarctic Expedition from Los Angeles, see items with Old Div IDs: uclamss_1429_1305 through uclamss_1429_1337 Commander Richard Byrd stands on a dock, off-center to the left. He faces slightly right and appears to converse with the unidentified man standing to the right of him. This man stands in profile, facing left. Another man stands in partial view along the left edge and faces towards Commander Byrd and the man at right. In front and to the left of Commander Byrd, his dog, Igloo, stands. Behind the men, a hose winds across the dock and slightly farther back, the hull of the C. A. Larsen extends across the background. Streamers are visible on the dock and on the men. This photograph is likely related to the articles, "COMMANDER BYRD SAILS FOR FROZEN ANTARCTIC: Thousands Cheer as All-American Soldiers of Science Depart; Last Word Sent by 'Times',” and “Flags Flutter and Whistles Toot Farewell,” Los Angeles Times, 11 Oct. 1928: A1 Handwritten text from negative sleeve: Byrd, Richard E. arrival + departure
