Dealer Notes

Spence 1259; Renard 1693; Rosove 349.A1. The story of Shackleton's last expedition, aboard the Quest, and his death on the 5th January 1922. It is, perhaps, a mark of Shackleton's character that the expedition continued after his death, and visited Elephant Island among other ports of call. Details of scientific findings are given in the appendices.
