Abstract

During the cruise of the KAINAN MARU (Captain Naokichi NOMURA) of the Japanese Antarctic Expedition led by Lieutenant Nobu SHIRASE in 1910-1912, she called at Wellington twice and Sydney once: Wellington from February 8 to 11, 1911 and from March 23 to April 2, 1912, Sydney from May 1 to November 19, 1911. A total of 30 Australian and New Zealand newspaper articles published mainly during the calls of the ship are collected without annotation. These articles supplement the records of the activities of the Expedition hitherto published, such as the "Nankyoku-ki (official report)" (1913).
