Thanks! He does look like he’d win a bar fight back in the day haha
Not sure about that specific shot, unfortunately. But I do know he was in the Navy, and family lore has it that he punched an officer to prevent a promotion that would have resulted in him not going on a big expedition.

Ice on the rigging! I am intrigued by the geodesic structure in the background.

Maybe some kind of lobster trap, or just something made just to pass the time?
Buckminster Fuller only coined the word "geodesic" in the late 1940s, so it's hard to know what to search for!

He looks like he could definitely hold his own!
Is he on a ship of some sort? It looks like it’s cold wherever this was take.
