 Second
engineer - Discovery 1901-04
Scott had difficulty in selecting the
steward for the Discovery Expedition, partly as it is such an
important position on an exploratory trip with little or no chance
for replenishment of supplies, compounded by the fact that they were
heading largely into the unknown in the way that events may have
progressed.
Ford was a very young man and
inexperienced at the time of the voyage, though he fitted the task
very well. Like many other young men on such expeditions,
compensating with inexperience with a quick ability to learn and
detailed application to his appointed job.
