Terra Nova | 1911

This photograph shows the Terra Nova, a three-masted, barque-rigged steamship built in Dundee, Scotland, in 1884 for sealing and Arctic service. The vessel achieved lasting renown as the flagship of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition (1910–1913), which reached the South Pole in January 1912, only to find Roald Amundsen had preceded them. The expedition ended in tragedy with the deaths of Scott and his polar party, though Terra Nova returned safely, carrying surviving crew members and significant scientific collections. Following her Antarctic service, she resumed commercial operations in northern waters. Her distinguished career came to a close in 1943, when she foundered off Greenland while on convoy duty during the Second World War.
