Last Port to Antarctica: Dunedin and Port Chalmers: 100 Years of Polar Service

A fascinating account of all the ships and expeditions (Borchgrevink, Scott, Byrd, Ellsworth, Swan, and others) which have departed Otago Harbour for the Antarctic from the early days of exploration to the present day, and of the ships which returned to use the port’s first-class repair facilities. It records the appreciation of expedition leaders for the kindness and generosity shown them by mayors and councils, local manufacturers, and the Otago public.
