RRS Discovery Wardroom. Fairly sumptuously appointed:-
By contrast here’s the Mess room. The ‘men’ lived and slept here, in hammocks:-
Galley:-
Junior Officer’s Quarters. A grade or so up from the ‘men’ you’ll note:-
These do look reasonably comfortable – but they were apparently the coldest part of the ship and the mattresses could freeze under the sleeping officer:-
Senior Officer’s quarters, a bit less spartan:-
Shackleton’s Quarters weren’t quite so plush:-
Scott’s, though, seem very salubrious:-
