Description: | A lifebuoy from RYS Quest, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship for his final Antarctic expedition, the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition of 1921-1922 (and later used by the British Arctic Air Route Expedition). One of several objects relating to Shackleton given to the Horniman by one of his sisters in 1938, recorded in the register for that year. Correspondence in the archives (ARC/HMG/CM/007/A/COLBECKW/003-025, 028 and 031) show that the lifebuoy was deaccessioned in September 1956, when it was given to the Sea Ranger Ship Quest in Aberdeen, via Patricia Mugliston. According to enquiries made by the archivist of Girlguiding Scotland, it was transferred to Aberdeen Maritime Museum when SRS Quest was disbanded, but the Maritime Museum have no trace of it in their records. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | Shackleton-Rowett Expedition (Quest) lifebuoys Shackleton Sir Ernest Henry | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-73240 |
