English: Starboard bow view of 'Alert' (1856), with Berrie, Ice Quartermaster, standing in the foreground behind a walrus which he killed. On 10 August 1875, Parr wrote: ‘In the afternoon, one of our whaleboats went away to see if they could pick up a walrus & in an hour or so afterwards they were seen coming back again with something in tow…It turned out to be a walrus and a fine one too…, the length being 12ft 5in, girth 11ft 6in. It was at once proposed to photograph him, so the camera was prepared and he was taken lying on the floe near the bows of the ship with Berry [Ice Quartermaster, Alert] the harpooner that stuck him, the negative turned out rather well’. |
