The South Georgia Museum Ex-Whalers Oral History Project
This was launched in January 2010. The project is a major initiative to document South Georgia’s whaling history through the eyes of the people who worked in the industry on and around the island. By recording and disseminating the reminiscences of South Georgia whaling the Museum will explore the lives of ex-whalers and preserve this remarkable history.
This nautical almanac was used by Captain Frank Worsley in 1916 to navigate the lifeboat James Caird from Elephant Island to South Georgia to rescue the shipwrecked crew of Endurance.
