Mrs. Chippy Monument
"Mrs Chippy was a cat taken aboard the Shackleton's Endurance expedition by its carpenter Harry McNeish. Shackleton ordered him shot along with the pups and later the rest of the dogs. Mrs Chippy's death affected McNeish greatly and most of those who had been aboard the Endurance where he had become a well-loved and most popular shipmate. The loss of his cat was something for which McNeish never forgave Shackleton and mourned the rest of his life."
