EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the U.S.R.C. Bear and S.S. Corwin anchored in the roadstead of Nome, Alaska, between approximately 1900 and 1927. The image, created by the renowned Lomen Brothers, showcases the stark beauty and adversity of the Alaskan frontier. The U.S.R.C. Bear, an icebreaker, and the S.S. Corwin, a sailing ship, are depicted in the foreground, their silhouettes contrasting against the backdrop of towering glaciers and icy waters. The meeting of these two vessels symbolizes the challenges and slow progress encountered during exploration and transportation in the harsh Arctic climate. The Lomen Brothers, a prominent photography studio and company based in Nome, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations. Their photograph serves as a testament to the spirit of adventure and the indomitable human will to overcome adversity in the face of the unknown. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Alaskan frontier was a remote and untamed landscape, ripe for discovery. The icy waters, the glaciers, and the ships anchored in the roadstead all come together to create a metaphorical representation of the exploration and transportation in the Arctic, a critical part of North American history.
