Summary

Small, scruffy and stinking of seal oil and old blubber, the 458-ton Nimrod wasn’t Ernest Shackleton’s first choice of ship for his Antarctic Expedition. Ships to Remember, beautifully illustrated by the paintings of Austin Dwyer, is a collection of stories about remarkable ships, some of which went on to change the course of history.
