  1. Southern Ocean Expedition

    Refimprove date August 2007 Southern Ocean Expedition 1830 1833 was an expedition to Antarctica . Background In 1830, the English whaling company Samuel Enderby & Sons appointed John Biscoe Master Mariner master of the brig Tula and leader of an expedition to find new seal hunting grounds in the Southern Ocean . Accompanied by the Cutter ship cutter Lively , the Tula left London and by December had reached the South Shetland Islands . The expedition then sailed further south, crossing the Antarctic Circle on January 22, 1831, before turning east at Latitude 60 S . Just over a month later, on February 24, 1831, the expedition sighted bare mountain tops through the ocean ice. Biscoe correctly surmised that they were part of a continent and named the area Enderby Land in honour of his patrons. On February 28, a Headlands and bays headland was spotted, which Biscoe named Cape Ann and Mount Biscoe Cape Ann the mountain atop the headland would later be named Cape Ann and Mount Biscoe Mount Biscoe . Biscoe kept the expedition in the area while he began to chart the coastline, but after a month his and his crews health were deteriorating. The expedition set sail toward Australia , reaching Hobart , Tasmania in May, but not before two crew members had died from scurvy . The expedition wintered in Hobart before heading back toward the Antarctic. On February 15, 1832, Adelaide Island was discovered and two days later the Biscoe Islands . A further four days later, on February 21, more extensive coastline was spotted. Surmising again that he had encountered a continent, Biscoe named the area Graham Land , after Admiralty First Lord of the Admiralty Sir Sir James Graham, 2nd Baronet James Graham .

  1. Ocean Traveler

    Ocean Traveler was a drilling platform built in the United States and used in the Gulf of Mexico . In 1966, it was transferred to Esso for the first exploration wells on the Norwegian continental shelf in the North Sea , following the Dutch discovery of Groningen gas field in 1959. On 16 July 1966, the platform did a limited discovery in the North Sea, in a block that much later became the discovery place of the Balder Field . Ocean Traveler had big problems with the weather conditions in the North Sea, the weather being much tougher in the North Sea than the areas off the southern coast of the United States. These experiences laid the foundation for the sister platforms, especially the Norwegian built Ocean Viking , which had a significantly strengthened structure.
