SS TERRA NOVA: WHALER SEALER POLAR EXPLORATION SHIP

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 60-year history of the ship which was originally built in 1884 for the Dundee whaling and sealing fleet. SS Terra Nova was most famous for being the vessel to carry the ill-fated 1910 polar expedition crew led by Robert Falcon Scott, but the story of this memorable ship continued until 1943, when she sank off Greenland.
