Description
English: Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was the first to reach the South Pole, but the Arctic was his first love. He designed his own ship, named it for Queen Maud of Norway, and christened it with a block of ice. The well-equipped expedition set off from Norway in June 1918 to explore the area near the North Pole. The ship spent its first two winters frozen in Arctic ice. In 1921, the "Maud" came to Seattle for repairs before heading back to the Arctic.

This photo shows Amundsen's Arctic exploration vessel, the "Maud," probably when the ship was in Seattle for repairs in 1921.
