Mrs. Chippy

Mrs. Chippy was a cat who accompanied Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–17, and—along with some of the sled dogs—was eventually shot after the expedition's ship, the ''Endurance'', was destroyed when it became trapped in pack ice.
== Life ==

Mrs. Chippy, a tiger-striped tabby, was taken on board the ''Endurance'' by Harry McNish, the carpenter nicknamed "Chippy" (as in chips of wood, ''chips'' or ''chippy'' being a standard British nickname for a carpenter or for a man named ''Carpenter''), as a ship's cat. One month after the ship set sail for Antarctica it was discovered that, despite ''her'' name, Mrs. Chippy was actually a male, but by that time the name had stuck. He was described as "full of character" by members of the expedition and impressed the crew by his ability to walk along the ship's inch-wide rails in even the roughest seas. After the ship was destroyed, Shackleton decided that Mrs. Chippy and five of the dogs would not survive, and on 29 October 1915 recorded:
McNish had become particularly attached to the cat, and never forgave Shackleton for having him shot. He clashed with Shackleton during the expedition and, despite eventually constructing the boats that would take the party to safety, and displaying considerable fortitude and bravery, McNish was denied the Polar Medal awarded to most of the rest of the crew, on the grounds of his earlier insubordination. In 2004 a life-size bronze statue of Mrs. Chippy was placed on the grave of McNish by the New Zealand Antarctic Society in recognition of his efforts on the expedition.〔Griggs, Kim. ("Antarctic hero 'reunited' with cat" ), BBC, 21 June 2004. Retrieved 5 April 2008.〕 In February 2011 Mrs Chippy was featured on a postage stamp. The stamp was issued by South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands.〔"(Pets: New Stamp Issue ), ''South Georgia Newsletter'', February 2011. Retrieved 20 january 2015.〕
