Bluntisham Books / Erskine Press, 2007. 2007 reprint. hardcover. 183pp, decorative boards, hardback, New. The decorative boards closely match the design and appearance of the original edition retaining much of the character of the original First Edition.. Mawson and Davis became closely acquainted during Shackleton's 1907-9 expedition, and Mawson later recruited Davis to be captain of the Aurora on the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition. Originally published in a small edition in 1919 this is the record of the voyages of Aurora in Southern Waters, written from a sailor's point of view. Built in 1876 as an Arctic whaler Aurora, though old and battered, captained by Davis, managed three Antarctic voyages in support of Mawson and his men. This attractive facsimile of the original edition makes a scarce and fascinating book readily available.. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.
