Dr. Pete Rand is a 1951 graduate of Harvard and in 1948, 1949, and 1950 was part of Donald MacMillan’s crew on the schooner BOWDOIN during summer expeditions to the Arctic. MacMillan, who first joined Robert Peary’s expedition to the North Pole in 1908, is recognized for his contributions at the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College.
In this video, Pete shared with me his recollections in this video about his experiences with MacMillan and as first mate on one of the expeditions.
