Amazing to think that with such cold waters the film didn't retriculate.

Frank Hurley was probably the luckiest photographer who ever lived. On the Endurance expedition, he dove into the Antarctic waters to retrieve his glass-plate negatives from the slowly sinking ship, then survived the months-long trek and wait for rescue. He had to leave behind most of his exposed plates because they were too heavy to carry, so he buried them in the ice and snow. Years later, he returned to Antarctica and retrieved them--and all of his photos survived.

This photo appears to show an Admiral being rowed (probably ashore at the end of a seagoing appointment) in his barge by some of his officers. All of the oarsmen have rank stripes at the lower end of their sleeves, as per officers, and may all be Lieutenants, although the detail here is insufficent to be sure. The involvement of an Admiral (sitting in the stern of the boat) is denoted by the flag in the bow. Admirals underway in ships or boats would have flags indicating how senior the Admiral is. In cars, it would be a plate with balls or stars. Rear Admirals have flags with two balls, Vice Admirals with one ball and full Admirals with none (the coarser way of remembering the ranks during my naval career was that the older the Admiral, the more wizened and less virile, thus reducing numbers of balls). The following website gives authoritative details: www.royalnavy.mod.uk/training-and-people/the-rn-today/shi...
