''Antarctic'' was a Swedish steamship built in Drammen, Norway in 1871. She was used on several research expeditions to the Arctic region and to Antarctica through 1898-1903. In 1895 the first confirmed landing on the mainland of Antarctica was made from this ship. ==The ship== ''Antarctic'' was a barque with three masts and equipped with a steam engine. Build in 1871 at Holmen in Drammen under the name ''Cap Nor''.〔(), Alfred Nathorst, ”Två Somrar i Norra Ishafvet”, first part (in Swedish), 1900, accessdate=2010-12-10〕〔(), Henrik Bull, ”The cruise of the "Antarctic" to the South Polar regions”, 1896, accessdate=2010-12-10〕〔(), Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University (in Swedish), accessdate=2010-12-10〕 Initially ''Antarctic'' was used for seal hunting around Svalbard, Jan Mayen and Greenland,〔(), Nordisk Familjebok, Project Runeberg, Linköping University (in Swedish), accessdate=2010-12-10〕 under that period the ship was captained by Gullik Jensen and among others Carsten Borchgrevink served on the ship. In the early 1890s Norwegian ship-owner Svend Foyn wanted to expand his business to the Antarctic Ocean thereby needing capable ships. Foyn then purchased ''Cap Nor'', made extensive repairs and after completion renamed the ship ''Antarctic''.〔〔〔 From 1893 the ship was deployed to the Antarctic ocean for whale hunting. In 1897 the ship was purchased by Alfred Gabriel Nathorst for his planned expedition to Svalbard. Again extensive repairs were made prior to the expedition in 1898.〔〔〔 In 1899 Nathorst sold the ship to Georg Carl Amdrup for his expedition to East Greenland.〔 In 1900 Amdrup sold ''Antarctic'' to Otto Nordenskjöld who needed the ship for his Antarctic expedition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antarctic (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
