Description

The Challenger Expedition: Exploring the Ocean's Depths A groundbreaking voyage that transformed our understanding of the deep sea, this book tells the story of the HMS Challenger expedition, which set sail from Portsmouth in 1872. The journey was unique in its scale and scope, with a team of civilian scientists on board to support the crew. The book explores the stories behind six objects associated with the expedition, including the Baillie sounding machine, a starfish, and a photographic album. Lavishly illustrated with objects from the National Maritime Museum and significant collections around the world, this book reveals the often hidden work, technologies, and international collaboration that made the Challenger expedition such a significant scientific endeavour. By examining these objects and the people who used them, The Challenger Expedition: Exploring the Ocean's Depths sheds light on the legacy of the expedition on the modern study of oceanography.
