The Admiral Peary Inn History
Robert Edwin Peary was born in Cresson, Pennsylvania, on 6 May 1856, son of Charles N. and Mary P. Peary. At the age of three, his father died, and his mother took him to Portland, Maine, where he spent his boyhood. He graduated second in his class from Bowdoin College in 1877 with the degree of Civil Engineer. He lived at the Admiral Peary Inn from 1877 to 1881. He was the town curator, a taxidermist, and justice of the peace. He then spent the next few years employed as a draftsman in the Coast and Geodetic Survey offices in Washington, DC, and he entered the Naval service as a Civil Engineer, USN, with the rank of Lieutenant, on 26 October 1881. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander on 5 January 1901 and to Commander 6 April 1902.
His first notable Naval Assignment consisted, oddly enough, of tropical duty. He later returned to the tropics when he led a party that surveyed a route for the proposed Nicaraguan Canal. It was not until after this that he became interested in the far north, and in April 1886 he was granted six months' leave of absence to lead an expedition to Greenland, where he recorded important ethnological and meteorological observations.
During the next twenty-three years, he led various expeditions into the north. On some of these journeys, Peary was accompanied by his wife, formerly Josephine Diebietsch, whom he married in 1888, and their children. The first attempt to reach the North Pole was carried out over a period of four years, from 1898 to 1902, when a point 343 miles from the pole was reached. Four years later, in 1906, he steamed northward on the USS Roosevelt, a sturdy ship built to his own design, which crushed its way to the shores of the Polar Sea, from which he marched to a point only 174 miles from the pole.
His third polar attempt, and his eighth and last expedition into the north (sponsored by the Peary Arctic Club, and later investigated and approved by the National Geographic Society), was crowned with success on 6 April 1909. Exactly 23 years from the day Peary left the Navy Department for his first exploration journey, he reached the north geographical pole of the earth, not in the supposed Polar Continent, but a point in the ice-covered Arctic Sea. This was the expedition that achieved what no previous human had ever accomplished.
