High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nimrod was the ship used by Ernest Shackleton in his 1908 Antarctic Nimrod Expedition for the South Pole. It was a 41-year-old schooner of 334 gross register tons which had been used to hunt seals and whales. Shackleton, who paid Pds. 5,000 for the ship, had it re-rigged as a barquentine. It also had an auxiliary steam engine, but had a top speed of only six knots under this power. In addition, the ship was so overloaded with supplies for the expedition that it could not carry enough coal to make passage to the Antarctic from New Zealand, and Shackleton had to arrange for the ship to be towed to the edge of the pack ice by a tramp steamer Koonya. The New Zealand government paid half the cost of the tow, Sir James Mills, Chairman of the Union Steamship Company paid the other half. The Koonya was captained by Fredrick Pryce Evans during the tow.
