On arrival a telegram from Lady Shackleton was received requesting that the great explorer be buried on South Georgia and the body was returned to the island on the “Woodville”. The Shackleton-Rowett Expedition of 1921-22 aboard the converted Norwegian sealer "Quest" can be call called the final episode of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. The principle of scientific research for social and economic benefit was encouraged by the financer of the expedition John Quiller Rowett, a successful businessman and school friend of Shackleton. There was no intention of attempting to reach the Pole or cross the Antarctic Continent and Shackleton know that this was to be his 'swansong'. The heart attack on board "Quest" that claimed his life in the early hours of Jan. 5 at the gae of 47 soon after reaching South Georgia was a great tragedy. After his death, the "Quest "continued for some months carrying out research and recordings on South Georgia and into the Weddell Sea, reaching 100 miles from the coast of Antarctica before retreating from the ice pack. James William Slessor Marr (1902-1965) was studying at Aberdeen University when in 1921, Ernest Shackleton announced that he was seeking a “handy lad” for the Shackleton-Rowett ‘Quest’ expedition. He invited Boy Scouts to apply as the movement was something he admired deeply. Out of 1,700 applications 18-year-old Marr was chosen together with 17-year-old Norman Mooney from Orkney. Mooney was sent home early with seasickness, but Marr went on to play a full role. A marine biologist with a specialisation in Antarctic krill, he took part in the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929-31) with Sir Douglas Mawson and the Discovery Investigations (1928–1929, 1931–1933 and 1935–1937). In World War II Marr was promoted to Lieutenant Commander on appointment as expedition leader of Operation Tabarin Marr and overwintered at Port Lockroy in 1944 but was forced to resign his position due to ill health.
