Back caption "Chapter XXV - George Francis Train in the center foreground, at the Sehome wharf - about to board the steamer Premier, which was to carry him and these excursionists to Victoria, where he would board the steamer "Empress of India" for Yokohama. May 9, 1891. He was going to circumnavigate the globe in 60 days, and advertise New Whatcom." George Train was a writer and lecturer from New York who induced the residents of New Whatcom to raise $1000 for his trip around the world which took him sixty-one and one half days. He had done the same thing in Tacoma in 1890 in sixty-seven days.
