The Pourquoi Pas? (Why Not?) was built to order in St Malo for the scientist and explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot who, from 1908 to 1910, led a very successful French expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula. The ship, at 445 tonnes, was not large but performed very well and was used by Charcot for further scientific expeditions to the North Atlantic, English Channel, Mediterranean and Faroe Islands. On 16 September, 1936, the ship was caught in a violent cyclone off the coast of Iceland and was wrecked on a reef. Charcot and all but one of the rest of the crew were lost. #Antarctic #boat #navire #polar_exploration #rigging #sailing #ship #steam #voilier
