SHACKLETON PLAQUE IN GRYTVIKEN MARINERS' CHURCH
Some time ago a plaque was unveiled at the Church in Grytviken, South Georgia, in whose graveyard Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried. The plaque depicts a well known picture of Shackleton, the famous picture o the launching of the James Caird which is also the Society's logo, and includes the following words:
'Greetings from Members of the James Caird Society, the Alleyn Club and Dulwich College, your granddaughter [Alexandra], President of the Society, and Harding Dunnett (Founder).
At the bottom it carries the words 'Sic transit gloria mundi'.
