Leonard Outhwaite
Toronto Daily Star, July 5 1929
Saying that Leonard Outhwaite (1892-1978) was a millionaire and socially prominent New Yorker implied that he was something of a dilettante. He was actually an explorer, author, and anthropologist, so sailing the Atlantic was well within his skill set. His published works include The Atlantic; A History of An Ocean, which was republished in 2018. His papers are stored at the Rockefeller Archive Center.
According to his Find a Grave entry, Mr. Outhwaite was married three times. The woman in the photo above, the former Georgia Schofield, was wife number two. She passed away in 1950.
