NEW BEDFORD, MA (7 April 2010) — The Ocean Explorium at New Bedford Seaport welcomes "SEA & ICE: The Extraordinary Life of Captain Bob Bartlett", an exhibit that chronicles an era of Arctic exploration under sail.

Captain Bartlett was a renowned Arctic explorer who successfully navigated Admiral Peary to his discovery of the North Pole in 1909.  Owner of the Effie M. Morrissey, now Schooner Ernestina, from 1926 - 1946, Capt. Bartlett made annual trips to the Arctic for scientific expeditions and anthropologic studies.  Some of these excursions were sponsored by National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of Natural History.  Captain Bartlett and the Effie M. Morrissey also were commissioned by the U.S. Navy to survey the Arctic during World War II.
