| | Robert Abram Bartlett (Bowdoin, Arctic Museum) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Captain Bob Bartlett, shipmate and comrade of both Robert E. Peary and Donald B. MacMillan, was a steadfast and reliable member of the Arctic expeditions for which he captained the Roosevelt under the command of Peary. |
 | | Bartlett steered the vessel to 82°20', farther north than any ship had gone before under its own steam, but the expedition was nearly a disaster. |
 | | Bartlett led those under his command to Wrangel Island, off the coast of Siberia, and then, after leaving instructions on what to do to survive, traveled, with one Inuit companion, a total of over 700 miles through snow and ice to get help. |
