Sir George Smyth Baden-Powell (1847–1898) was a son of Baden Powell, and brother of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell, Baden Baden-Powell, Warington Baden-Powell, Agnes Baden-Powell and Frank Baden-Powell. After graduating at Balliol College, Oxford, and studying at the Inner Temple, he acted as a commissioner in Victoria, Australia, the West Indies, Malta and Canada.〔 〕 His mother, Henrietta Grace Smyth, was the third wife of Rev. Baden Powell (the previous two having died), and was a gifted musician and artist. He was Conservative MP for Liverpool Kirkdale from 1885 to 1898. In 1893 he married Frances Wilson. They had a daughter, Maud (b. 1895) and a son, Donald Ferlys Wilson Baden-Powell (1897–1973). In 1896 he took his yacht ''Otaria'' to the island of Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic to observe the total solar eclipse of that year.〔 〕 On his return to Vardø, Norway, he met his friend Fritjof Nansen who had just returned from his three-year drift and trek across the Arctic. Having intended to start a search for him, he put his yacht at Nansen's disposal and they had only reached Hammerfest when the news arrived that the ''Fram'' had also arrived back in Norway.〔 〕 ==Publications== * * * 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「George Baden-Powell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
