SY Aurora
SY ''Aurora'' was a steam yacht built by Alexander Stephen and Sons Ltd. in Dundee, Scotland, in 1876,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Alexander Stephen & Sons, Dundee Yard-list )〕 for the Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company. Her primary use was whaling in the northern seas, and she was built sturdily enough to withstand the heavy weather and ice that would be encountered there. That strength proved useful for Antarctic exploration as well, and between 1911 and 1917 she made five trips to the continent, both for exploration as well as rescue missions.
==Whaling==
Between the years 1876 and 1910, ''Aurora'' made the annual trip from Dundee, Scotland to St. John's, Newfoundland to take part in the whale and seal hunt in the North Atlantic. There were a couple of notable events in this time. In 1884, ''Aurora'' made a failed attempt to rescue the Greely Expedition to claim the reward money, and in 1891, the ship came to the rescue of the crew of ''Polynia'' when she was crushed in sea ice.
