SS Terra Nova was most famous for being the vessel to carry the
ill-fated 1910 polar expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott, but the
story of this memorable ship, built in wood to enable flexibility
in the ice, continued until 1943, when she sank off Greenland. This
newly designed and updated edition presents the definitive
illustrated account of one of the classic polar exploration ships
of the 'heroic age'. Put together from accounts recorded by the men
who sailed in her, it tells the sixty-year history of a ship built
by a famous Scottish shipbuilding yard, in the nineteenth-century
days of whaling and sealing before coal gas and electricity
replaced animal oils.
