An interesting series covering the Morning's second relief voyage, in conjunction with the Terra Nova. The two ships left Tasmania in the middle of December 1903 under the command of Captains Colbeck and MacKay. Rupert England served as First Officer on the Morning. They were sighted by Scott and Wilson off the ice shelf on 4 January, and by 16 February the ice-bound Discovery was free with the Morning and the Terra Nova moored alongside. England went on to take initial command of the Nimrod on Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909.
