Hi George Frank Worsley's Navigational Log Book, to include the journey of the Caird does in fact live in a museum!!! www.CanterburyMuseum.com Christchurch, New Zealand Collection: Worsley, Frank MS540 Item description: Logbooks and Papers relating to voyage of Endurance to Antarctica and Return You specify which pages you want by date, and pay NZ$1 for each page plus NZ$5 for airmail. They offer B&W and Color images, the price above is for B&W. I asked for the pages relating to the voyage of the Caird and GOT THEM!!!!! I haven't studied them in detail, cause I am waiting for a dull day. They are fairly legible, but not totally. The color might be better. What I would like to know is if he just sailed down a latitude line or went great circle. For some reason, they will not just give you the whole log book, you can only get parts. They also carefully restrict reproduction of the documents, so while I do have them, I can't share them with the group. Once I tease out the data, I think I can share that, but I don't think George will be able to wait.
