Views of Stromness Whaling Station at 5489s 6841 W. This is a former whaling station on the northern coast of South Georgia Island in the Southern Ocean. Its historical significance is that it represents the destination of Ernest Shackletons epic rescue journey in 1916. In 1907 a " floating factory" was erected in Stromness Harbour; the land station being built in 1912. Stromness operated as a whaling station from 1912 until 1931. In 1931 it was converted into a ship repair yard with a machine shop and a foundry. It remained operational until 1961 when the site was abandoned. In 1916, Ernest Shackleton and a small crew landed on the unpopulated southern coast of South Georgia at King Haakon Bay after an arduous sea voyage from Elephant Island in the 22-foot lifeboat James Caird. Shackleton along with Tom Crean and Frank Worsley then trekked across South Georgias mountainous and glaciated interior in an effort to reach help on the populated northern shore of the island. After 36 hours of crossing the interior they arrived at the Stromness administration center which also was the home of the Norwegian whaling stations manager. All men were rescued from Elephant Island. In the decades following its closure, Stromness has been subject to damage from the elements and many of its buildings have been reduced to ruins. Outside of Stromness is a small whalers cemetery with 14 grave markers
