From the December 28, 1929, issue

YOUTH AND THE SEA

“Captain Sylvia,” aged 6 weeks, and her

mother, Mrs. J.E. Williamson upon the cover of

this week’s issue look at a strange world full of

fishes, corals, sharks, morays, and other

denizens of the deep. The youthful scientist,

symbolic of science itself and its aspirations,

was a member of the Field Museum-Williamson

Undersea Expedition to the Bahama Islands,

which brought back tons of corals collected after

cruising many miles under the sea.
