About: SY Aurora

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

SY Aurora was a 580-ton barque-rigged steam yacht built by Alexander Stephen and Sons Ltd. in Dundee, Scotland, in 1876, for the Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company. It was 165 feet (50 m) long with a 30-foot (9.1 m) beam. The hull was made of oak, sheathed with greenheart and lined with fir. The bow was a mass of solid wood reinforced with steel-plate armour. The heavy side frames were braced by two levels of horizontal oak beams. Her primary use was whaling in the northern seas, and she was built sturdily enough to withstand the heavy weather and ice that would be encountered there. That strength proved useful for Antarctic exploration as well and between 1911 and 1917 she made five trips to the continent, both for exploration and rescue missions.

  • El SY Aurora fue un yate a vapor construido por Ltd. en Dundee, Escocia, en 1876,​ para la Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company. Su uso primario era la caza de ballenas en los mares del norte, y por lo tanto fue construido de manera robusta para soportar el clima hostil y el hielo de dichas latitudes. Esa resistencia demostró ser útil para utilizarlo en la exploración de la Antártida, y entre 1911 a 1917 realizó cinco viajes al continente, tanto en misiones de exploración como de rescate. (es)
  • Die Aurora war ein Dampfschiff unter Segeln, das vom schottischen Schiffbauunternehmen Alexander Stephen and Sons Ltd. in Glasgow, Schottland für die Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company gebaut und im Februar 1877 fertiggestellt wurde. Sein ursprünglicher Zweck war der Walfang in den nördlichen Meeren. Es war kräftig gebaut, um das dort herrschende schwere Wetter und Eis auszuhalten. Diese Beanspruchbarkeit bewährte sich ebenfalls für Erkundungen der Antarktis. Zwischen 1911 und 1917 machte die Aurora fünf Reisen zu diesem Kontinent, sowohl für Erkundungen als auch für Rettungsaktionen. (de)
  • Le voilier à vapeur Aurora a été construit en 1876 par le chantier naval Alexander Stephen and Sons, de Glasgow en Écosse pour le compte de la Compagnie Dundee de chasse aux phoques et baleines (Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company). Il fut d'abord utilisé dans les mers du Nord et sa construction lui permit de résister au mauvais temps et aux glaces fréquentes dans ces parages. Cette solidité devait par la suite lui permettre de participer à des expéditions variées autour du globe. (fr)
