The claim that Fiegel was the inspiration for "Popeye" is largely accurate. However, the picture shown above is not a photograph of him. It is of an anonymous sailor aboard HMS Rodney in 1940, posing as “Popeye”. Fiegel was in his 70s at the time this photograph was taken. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/frank-rocky-fiegel-popeye/
