Nobu Shirase and the Japanese Antarctic Expedition: The Collection of Chet Ross
Potter & Potter Auctions is pleased to announce the sale of Chet Ross's Japanese Antarctic Expedition collection. Ross authored the first and only bibliography about the expedition, discovering over 50 publications related to Shirase and the JAE which now for the first time are coming across the auction block. Since the publication, several new items have been located including Shirase's personal military textbooks. This catalogue will act as a revised bibliography with new entries and insights previously unknown to the public. The second half of the sale will include general exploration, travel and the polar regions. Included is the USS Bear auxiliary wheel which was made famous as being part of the Greely Relief Expedition and later serving Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his second expedition to the Antarctic.
