Description: On reverse of card: "PHOTOGRAPHED BY / Giles Bishop / 22 State Street / NEW LONDON / Conn."Tookoolito and her husband Ebierbing had a long association with whalers and explorers, including Groton whaling master Sidney O. Budington and Arctic explorer Charles Francis Hall. Captain Budington, a native of Groton, commanded the bark George Henry of New London during one of Hall's expeditions in 1860–1862, and was master of the vessel Polaris for Hall's ill-fated last polar expedition in 1871. Both Tookoolito (sometimes called "Hannah" by the whalers) and Ebierbing were interpreters for Hall. They were brought to New London and Groton several times by Hall and Budington. Tookoolito and her three children are buried in Starr Cemetery, Groton.
