Sargent, A.W.

View of the '"Terra Nova" arriving at Cardiff from South Antartic Expedition Captained by Commander Evans', 14 June 1913. Bust-length portrait of Evans at top left. Photographers blindstamp at bottom right.

Framed and glazed.

S.Y. TERRA NOVA. Auxiliary barque of 764 tons, was built by Messrs Alexander Stephens and Sons, Dundee in 1884 for the whaling trade. Although nearly thirty years old at the time of Captain Scott's expedition, she was chosen for it because of her suitability for work in the Antarctic ice. Her beams were fourteen ins thick, her bows were nine feet of solid wood, and her stem was sheathed with iron plating.
