Bowdoin Boys in Labrador / An Account of the Bowdoin College Scientific Expedition to Labrador led by Prof. Leslie A. Lee of the Biological Department

A college scientific expedition sails by schooner to Labrador and nearby coasts, recounting the voyage and its port calls. The narrative blends natural-history collecting—fish, crustacea, seaweeds, and notes on hatching and preservation—with practical seafaring details such as navigation, fishing, and daily life aboard ship. Ethnographic observations describe Indigenous camps and material culture, with anthropometric measurements and photography of inhabitants and household utensils. Interlaced impressions of coastal communities and local boatbuilding and fishing practices complete a practical, observational travel and scientific account.
