I am pleased to announce the publication of our paper on the Frank Worsley's log of the journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia Island. You will find it online, here
https://www.canterburymuseum.com/research/records-of-the-canterbury-museum/records-of-the-canterbury-museum/
In the paper, you will find high quality imaged of Worsley's log, a definitive transcript and an explanation of the parts. Yes, you finally get to see the log itself, something I have kept deliberately hidden for years.
Some may ask why we did not publish elsewhere. It was a two fold decision. Firstly, the log itself resides at the museum and secondly, to publish those high quality images would have cost us a fortune. By agreement with Canterbury Museum, we were able to avoid those fees.
We look forward to any feedback you may have
Best Regards
Brad
