EDITORS COMMENTS
This sectional diagram of The Quest, taken in 1921, provides a detailed view of the ship that played a pivotal role in the Shackleton-Rowett Oceanographical and Antarctic Expedition of 1921-22. The Quest was a sturdy and versatile vessel, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the Antarctic waters. At the heart of the ship, we see the main compartments, engine room, and boiler room. Surrounding the image of the main ship are a number of interior views, offering a glimpse into the daily life on board. At the top left, we find Sir Ernest Shackleton's quarters, where the fearless explorer would plan and strategize for the challenges ahead. The bottom middle image reveals the galley, where the ship's cooks would prepare hearty meals to sustain the crew. And at the top right, we see the wardroom, a comfortable space where officers and senior crew members would gather to dine and socialize. The Shackleton-Rowett Expedition was a groundbreaking scientific mission, with a focus on oceanography and meteorology. The Quest was equipped with advanced scientific instruments, including a hydrographic winch, a meteorological deck, and a laboratory. The expedition made significant discoveries, including the first evidence of the Antarctic Convergence and the identification of a new species of krill. This sectional diagram offers a fascinating look into the inner workings of The Quest and the scientific mission that took place aboard her. It is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the crew, who braved the unforgiving Antarctic conditions to advance our understanding of the natural world.
