The Terra Nova of Scotts Antarctic Expedition
The ship Terra Nova - the vessel used by Robert Falcon Scott (1868 -1912) for his South Polar Expedition in 1911-12. Built originally for the Dundee whaling and sealing fleet (launched 1884), the Terra Nova was purchased from Bowring Brothers Limited for the British Antarctic Expedition, known also as the Terra Nova Expedition, for the sum of 12, 500. Reinforced from bow to stern with seven feet of oak to protect against the Antarctic ice pack, she sailed from Cardiff on 15 June 1910 under overall command of now Captain Scott, who described her as " a wonderfully fine ice ship.... As she bumped the floes with mighty shocks, crushing and grinding a way through some, twisting and turning to avoid others, she seemed like a living thing fighting a great fight."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Antarctic expedition vessel, Terra Nova, as it bravely navigated through the icy waters of the Antarctic in 1910-1911. The Terra Nova, originally built for the Dundee whaling and sealing fleet in 1884, was later purchased by the British Antarctic Expedition for £12,500. Renowned explorer Robert Falcon Scott, who would lead the expedition, described the ship as a "wonderfully fine ice ship" that fought valiantly against the Antarctic ice pack. Reinforced with seven feet of oak from bow to stern, the Terra Nova was a formidable vessel, ready for the challenges of the polar region. Launched from Cardiff on 15 June 1910, the ship's journey was filled with both triumphs and hardships. The photograph depicts the Terra Nova in its element, as it gracefully maneuvers through the icy floes, demonstrating the strength and resilience of this historic ship. The Terra Nova Expedition, also known as the British Antarctic Expedition, is a significant chapter in the annals of polar exploration. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the men who sailed on the Terra Nova, and the incredible feats they accomplished in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the Antarctic.
