Aurora was adrift for almost a yearThe engraving on the back cover reads: "This watch went to Antarctica in 1914. and was carried away on the S.Y. Aurora on her long drift returning when she relieved (sic) the party in 1917."The S.Y. Aurora transported and supplied the Ross Sea Party, a component of Sir Ernest's expedition, led by Joseph Stenhouse. In May 1915, a blizzard caused the ship to break from its anchorage and, with ice hindering its ability to manoeuvre, it spent 312 days adrift.It was freed by melting ice in March 1916.Kinghams said competitive bidding is expected on the watch because there is "a strong interest in anything expedition and particularly Antarctic-related amongst collectors".Follow BBC Gloucestershire on Facebook, X and Instagram.
