As a result of the Australian government's initiative to consolidate its claim to Antarctic territory, HMAS "Wyatt Earp", an old, decrepit wooden ship, set sail. This is the story of the voyage that proved to be fraught with obstacles and hazards of all kinds.
In the summer of 1947-48 Australia's first Antarctic exploration since the Mawson voyages of 1929-31 was undertaken in a small, old, decrepit wooden ship. This was HMAS "Wyatt Earp" which had been reconditioned by the Royal Australian Navy for the journey, as a result of the Australian government's initiative to consolidate its claim to Antarctic territory. The voyage was fraught with obstacles and hazards of all kinds, including a breakdown halfway to Antarctica, but, nevertheless, the expedition accomplished a running survey of the glaciated and little-known Balleny Islands, and called at Macquarie Island on the voyage back to Australia.
