George E. Mack (1887-1941) spent many years in the Canadian North. He served on the steamship S.S. Nascopie twice, firstly as Second Officer in 1912, and then again as Captain from 1915 to 1920, first as Master and then as Ice Master/Pilot, when he became a Superintendent of the Hudson's Bay Company from 1920 to 1928.[1] An amateur photographer, he made up two albums of the photographs that he'd taken during his northern travels. Mack was particularly interested in the communities that went up near the trading posts and in the aboriginal hunting grounds. One of the most fascinating of the sequences in his albums shows the arrival by boat of a herd of Norwegian reindeer and the Laplanders who were hired to help them adjust to Canada's North.[2]
