A Cheery Sendoff For The Nautilus: Lady Hubert Wilkins (foreground) waving a fond farewell to the submarine nautilus, as that vessel glides out of new London harbor, bound for provincetown, Massachusetts for her standardization tests. In about 36 hours the nautilus will leave provincetown for Spitzbergen, Norway, the "hopping off" point for the trip to the North pole. June 4, 1931. (Photo by International Newsreel Photo).
