Tristan de Cunha

Photograph, black and white showing two row boats with the Island of Tristan de Cunha in the background. Annotated with 'number 9' on back - this possibly is a reference to the images selected to be used for Alister Hardy's book on the expedition 'Great Waters'. Annotation from 'Great Waters' for this photograph reads 'Islanders coming out to us for stores and mail in their frail boats of oiled canvas stretched on a wooden frame'. Part of a collection of photographs and archives relating to Alister Hardy 1896-1985, zoologist on the Discovery Oceanographic Expedition 1925-1927.
