1934 Wordie Arctic Expedition - Aberdeen, Scotland to Cape Farewell, Greenland page http://maa.cam.ac.uk/wordie/expedition/section1/ In his report to the Royal Geographical Society, J.M. Wordie introduces the expedition. "[We] left Aberdeen on 24 May 1934... [Our] ship was the Norwegian sealer Heimen... She was captained by her owner Lars Jakobsen, with whose ability as a seaman and ice pilot I was already familiar, and had a crew of ten all told, made up of two watches each of four men, a cook, and a mess boy. The wardroom party numbered nine, and I had with me Dr. T. G. Longstaff as medical officer and zoologist; P.D. Baird, surveyor and geologist; Sir John Hanham, botanist; C.T. Dalgety and H. P. Hanham, ornithologists; T. T. Paterson, geologist and archaeologist; Lieut. W. E. Fletcher, R.N., navigator; and M. H. W. Ritchie as photographer" (Wordie 1935, 298).
