South with Shackleton and Endurance, 1914-1917
Join us for a talk by Graeme Jupp who is sharing his deep knowledge of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–1917). His interest in Sir Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance expedition extends back more than 20 years.
Graeme works as a cartographer (map maker) for Land Information New Zealand, and has had had a lifelong interest in ships, especially sailing ships and ocean liners. He is a member of the US-based Titanic International Society. Highlights include transatlantic crossings aboard Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Mary 2, and two voyages aboard the current Queen Elizabeth. Graeme has also had a 35-year interest in New Zealand railways, especially the North Island Main Trunk and Rimutaka Incline.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 16 December.
