Eva Marie Sweeney interview

RECORDED: [location unknown], [196-] SUMMARY: TRACK 1: Eva Marie Sweeney (daughter of Captain Victor Jacobson) discusses her father's life beginning with a club that he founded in 1936 after he retired from a life at sea; he died at 97 in 1949. She describes his birth in Finland and his childhood, coming to Victoria. She discusses his experiences on sealing schooners which led him to get his own schooner called, "The Mountain Chief", and other boats he owned, details about a ship called "Thermopylae". She tells a story about her father's sealing expedition in the Bering Sea when Americans seized Canadian ships and tells another story about a boat her father bought that was chartered by Robert Louis Stevenson for the sealing trade. She describes other boats he owned, living aboard the boats, the process of selling seal skins and having to pay Indian hunters in gold. She tells how later her father went into the real estate then reverts to more stories about sealing days including interactions and relationships with Indians. TRACK 2: Eva Marie Sweeny continues with more stories about experiences in the Bering Sea including one where Captain Jacobsen broke his jaw and another about the cat on the ship, about Indian superstitions and an encounter with an octopus. She tells about her grandmother who came from Sweden when she was 70 and went fishing in a sealing boat. She recalls the time her father brought home a baby seal as a pet, the Rogers family of Rogers Chocolates, and a freighting trip her father took to the Queen Charlotte Islands in 1912.
