Description
John Collier Jr, a renowned anthropologist. In 1930 he signed on as seaman in the four masted bark Abraham Rydberg for a voyage from San Francisco around Cape Horn to Dublin, Ireland, an experience arranged by Leighton Robinson, a retired English master in sail, who had provided seamanship training to John. Dressed for work, Collier is posing as he climbs the ship's mast's ropes. Inscribed along the edges of the photo is "ship_ 3 of my Mill Valley lads, * of Greenland, John Collier Jr, Sold to Sweden --As "Abraham Rydberg", _____ Del Mair, Clinton, John Collier Jr".
