Summary edit

Description 330-PSA-200-60 (USN 1050056): With cold calculation, YNC (SS) Richard W. Caron, USN, unwinds the first toss in the historic premiere North Pole ball game. The umpire with the frozen stare and cold heart was HM1(SS) A.V. Jarvis, USN, September 15, 1960. Master Caption: USS Seadragon’s Polar Voyage. USS Seadragon (SSN 584) arrived at Honolulu, Hawaii, on September 14, 1960, after completing her voyage from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to the North Pole, via the Parry Channel “Northwest Passage”. While in the Arctic basin, Seadragon made hydrographic, oceangraphic, and other scientific observations. The submarine surfaced several times in Baffin Bay, the Parry Channel, Arctic Ocean and stopped at the North Pole on August 25, long enough for her crew to play the world’s first polar ball game. Frogmen swam under the ice photographing its underside. The water temperature was 28.50 F at the pole.(9/9/2015).
