The 28-foot, engineless, wooden Falmouth Quay punt, Curlew, owned by Tim and Pauline Carr, moored alongside the derelict whaler, Petrel, on the Antarctic island of South Georgia. Designed and built in Falmouth by R S Burt in 1905, the Carrs bought her in 1968.

During the 32 years they sailed Curlew around the world, the Carrs made several voyages to the Antarctic and South Georgia Island, where they lived for a few years and established a whaling museum.
