It was just really helping me out but still respecting my position. “Every step of the way it was like, ‘What’s this for you? How can I help you? Where can I step in?’ He’s doing my dishes and he’s taking out the rubbish and he’s helping me hang decorations on the aft deck. You know, we both leaned on each other,” Aesha said in a separate interview with The Daily Dish in March. We had this vibe where it was like he was the captain, but I was in charge of the interior, and we were, like, this friendship that just supported each other, really. You know, like, I have so much respect for the hierarchy, so I really did respect him as my captain. “It was amazing, because he was really like a friend to me. Working with Captain Jason was a similarly enjoyable experience for Aesha, who said that he was more like a peer than a boss. “We have found the bodies of Scott, Wilson & Bowers, and all their records … Their death was, I am quite sure, not a painful one – for men get callous after a period of great hardship – but the long fight before must have been most terrible.Watch Below Deck Down Under on Peacock and the Bravo app. When their bodies were found, Apsley Cherry-Gerard, a member of the search party, wrote: You can see Scott’s diary entries here at the South Polar Research Institute. Since writing the above we have got to within 11 miles of our depot with one hot meal and two days cold food and we should have got through but have been held for four days by a frightful storm – I think the best chance has gone we have decided not to kill ourselves but to fight it to the last for that depot but in the fighting there is a painless end so don’t worry. The cold is biting and sometimes angering but here again the hot food which drives it forth is so wonderfully enjoyable that we would scarcely be without it. Therefore you must not imagine a great tragedy – we are very anxious of course and have been for weeks but on splendid physical condition and our appetites compensate for all discomfort.
#ASK CAPTAIN SCOTT FULL#
God’s will be done.”Ĭaptain Scott’s last letter was to his wife, and the first line is “To my widow.” He begins:ĭearest Darling – we are in a very tight corner and I have doubts of pulling through – In our short lunch hours I take advantage of a very small measure of warmth to write letters preparatory to a possible end – the first is naturally to you on whom my thought mostly dwell waking or sleeping – if anything happens to me I shall like you to know how much you have meant to me and that pleasant recollections are with me as I depart – I should like you to take what comfort you can from these facts also – I shall not have suffered any pain but leave the world fresh from harness and full of good health and vigour – this is dictated already, when provisions come to an end we simply stop where we are within easy distance of another depot.
I should like to have seen the grouse book but it is not allowed to me. I want to say how I have valued your friendship … I have no fear of death, only sorrow for my wife and for my dear people. “We shall make a forlorn effort to reach the next depot but it means 22 miles and we are none of us fit to face it. We have had a long struggle against intense cold on very short fuel, and it has done us in.” “This looks like a finish to our undertaking, for we are out of food and oil and not able to move for three days now on account of the blizzard. He wrote to Reginald Smith, a close friend, saying: Last year, the very last letter from the team, written by Edward Wilson, was found. Scott wrote: “Great God! This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority.” “These are some of the most poignant letters ever to be written from the polar regions….” Naomi Boneham, archives manager at SPRI said: “The men wrote in the hope that one day their loved ones and friends would get to read their words. Most of the team knew they would not return to their family and friends. To mark the 100 year anniversary of their deaths, the letters of Scott’s team have been published in a book. On the way back, the British team succumbed to Antarctica’s treacherous conditions. The men had journeyed to the south pole, and although they made it to their destination, they had been beaten to it by a Norwegian team lead by Roald Amundsen.
On November 12, 1912, a search party found the bodies of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Wilson and Henry Bowers.
