    Amazing to think that with such cold waters the film didn't retriculate.
  • Oliver Hammond said:
    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.

    I am pleased he was so lucky - his photographs are wonderful. His work from Antarctica and New Guniea is inspriational.

    This looks an awful lot like the Torpedo Boats shown in photos 167 and 170 (next in the photostream).
  • jdshephe46 said:
    This may be one of the TB 63 series second class torpedo boats procured by the British Royal Navy from the Herreshoff Company, Bristol, RI, USA. According to _The Sail & Steam Navy List: All the Ships of the Royal Navy, 1815-1889_, By David Lyon and Rif Winfield, these were the only steam powered vessels purchased by the RN from an overseas provider during the 19th Century.
