Scott's Last Expedition - The Personal Journals of Captain R. F. Scott, C.V.O., R.N., on his Journey to the South Pole
Originally published in 1913, this early work contains a fascinating and detailed account of Sir Robert Falcon Scott's journey to the South Pole. Offering a complete collection of Scott's diary entries from his last expedition, this book is unparalleled in its insight and detail. It constitutes a must-read for anyone interested in this famous explorative journey. Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868 - 1912) was an explorer and officer in the British Royal Navy. He famously captained two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the 'Discovery Expedition' of 1901, and the infamous 'Terra Nova Expedition' of 1910. Sir James Matthew Barrie 1860 – 1937) was a Scottish dramatist and author, best remembered for being the creator of "Peter Pan". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
The SS Terra Nova (1884-1943)
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.
