Dog driving equipment |
| Title: |
Dog driving equipment |
| Description: |
A short length of rope (probably flax), probably made by William Barbour & Sons Ltd. of Lisburn, Northern Ireland. It is a sample of the rope used for traces in dog driving on the British Graham Land Expedition 1934-37 (Penola). The expedition members found it to be 'most satisfactory' as the dogs disliked the dressing on it and did not chew the rope. |
