Captain David Smith with his young grandson John Allan Gray (already dressed as a sailor!) taken in Aberdeen Scotland around 1900. Capt. Smith fished the waters of the Atlantic and North Sea for more than fifty years before his death at 81 years old.
81 years old is living a full life indeed

Agreed! I love how his grandson has his hand on Capt. Smith's knee. They both have pride in their eyes.

Wonder what the Cpt. is holding in his hand?
It appears to be an envelope.

Looking very closely and I believe he is holding glasses. It looks like an earpiece and part of a lens.

I have never noticed a man's tie such as the captain's. It appears to be a rolled tie.

Scotland weather is very cold, often even in the middle of summer. They needed heavy wool clothing that is pictured.
