Antarctica...ummm, that's all very interesting sir, but tell me again how much personal accident liability you have on The Discovery... :)
- hugh 18y agoInterestingly, googling "Shackleton insurance" gives this New York Times article from January 16, 1914: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A07E6DC1730E733A25755C1A9679C946596D6CF http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A07E6DC1730E... It's not clear to me from the article who actually took out the insurance policy, though.
