The story of Scott of the Antarctic’s treacherous and ultimately fatal trips to the Pole are well known, but now a book has been unearthed in Leeds library which shows a Yorkshire link to the saga. Connie Daley reports
A classic case of not judging a book by its cover took librarians in Leeds on a fascinating photographic journey through a daring Antarctic mission to rescue Captain Scott.
Rhian said: “This is a real once-in-a-lifetime find and I never would have expected that inside this very ordinary-looking book would be such a remarkable collection of photos revealing a fascinating chapter in history.“We don’t know exactly how the pictures came into our collection, but we believe they were taken by John Donald Morrison, The Morning’s chief engineer and many of the crew are featured, including the ship’s dogs.
“It’s been fascinating to discover more about the expedition and its history and to find such a comprehensive record of how this historic mission unfolded.”
