Shackleton's white polo neck Jersey

As recalled by Macklin in conversation with James Fisher, 12-13 March 1956, given to him by Shackleton on board the Quest at South Georgia on the night of Shackleton's death: 'I remember I went to my own room berth and got a blanket, a nice big warm blanket and put it on him. I remember he was grateful for that. I think he gave me at that time a lovely white jersey. Three of them had been presented to him -- by, I think, his girl friend -- but when I brought him this blanket he leant over and he said 'Look here, I've got three of these and I'm giving one to Wild, would you like this one' and he gave me one of these things. Perhaps he thought it was a good gesture because I'd given him my blanket, or something of the sort! That was the last ...It was a beautiful thing and I wore it during the rest of the trip...'
