Dead whale on the coast of Bristol Bay, Alaska, 1890. 'Lord Lonsdale's Travels in Arctic North America. The enterprising and courageous performance of the Earl of Lonsdale in travelling northward during many months of the year 1888, from the Saskatchewan River of the Great Western Territory of Canada to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, and thence crossing Alaska westward to the North Pacific...has excited much attention. We are favoured by Lord Lonsdale with an exact account of his journeys...Few people, except some officers of the Hudson Bay Company and of the Alaska Fur Company, have made acquaintance with those desolate regions..." We proceeded along the seacoast of Bristol Bay, between Kogigan and the mouth of the Ilumna. A whale was found here, which had evidently been wounded and cast up by the tide in the whaling season".' From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
