I am interested in any information about Kosmos maiden voyage in 1929/30 to Antarctica. This whaling expedition as it turns out was very historic. My grandfather Haakon Michael (Stebeck) Reigem was onboard and I am trying to piece together what life on board the whaler would have been like. I would be grateful for any information about this voyage; personnel, cargo, guests, ports of call, Admiral Byrd expedition connection, Allan Innes-Taylor information, Bernt Balchen connection or any suggestion on where to find Kosmos information. Thank you to all the brave merchant marine sailors past and present and their families for keeping the stories alive.
