Biography

Emil Diebitsch was the brother of Josephine Diebitsch Peary. He was close friends with Robert Peary, having worked with him in Nicaragua in 1887. In 1894 he traveled to Greenland aboard the ship Falcon, which had been sent north to relieve Peary. Peary elected to stay in Greenland for another year, and  Diebitsch returned south aboard the Falcon, accompanied by Josephine and Marie. He sailed north again as leader of the 1895 relief expedition aboard the Kite.
