This is a photograph of a ship titled "[Peary's Ship]" by American explorer Robert E. Peary, who is most famous for his expeditions to the Arctic. The photograph, dated 1893-1895, depicts a ship stuck in the ice, which speaks to the challenges of the explorer's mission. The photograph, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a rare example of Peary's photographic work, which he employed to document his explorations. This image offers a glimpse into Peary's journey of exploration in the 19th century.
