"Let me meet you once more! O' dear friend by the strange shore!" - The farewell message to my great-grandmother from Captain Nomura on 19 November, 1911, the day the Kainan Maru sailed from Sydney Harbour to return to the Antarctic.
Do we know if your grandmother followed the story of the expedition? A newscutting scrapbook perhaps? I guess it will have to remain in the realm of speculation and family legend.
