 Captain Robert Abram Bartlett was born in Brigus, Newfoundland, in 1875. He was educated in both Brigus and at the Methodist College in St. John’s before beginning a career as a mariner, explorer, and sealing captain. Despite many notable feats, Captain Bartlett is probably best known for his journey with Captain Robert Peary to reach the North Pole and his heroic deed aboard the Karluk. Bartlett died of pneumonia on April 28, 1946, in New York City.
