One well known sealing captain, Captain Alphaeus Barbour, continued educating people about the seal hunt. He moved to Boston where he did a great deal of lectures showing people the hardships indured by those that took part in the hunt. Captain Barbour had several glass slides showing life at the front. The following slides include a pamphlet that was produced informing people of his lecture and also a slide of his homestead that was build in 1904 and is part of a Living Heritage Village at Newtown.
