James Paton (1869-1917) on the ice just prior to Aurora leaving the Antarctic after the relief of the stores party.

Paton was an Antarctic veteran. He was on the crew of Morning when it relieved Scott’s party in 1902, on the Nimrod transporting Shackelton’s expedition to and from the Ross Sea, and was boatswain on Aurora.

He was on the last voyage of the Aurora from Newcastle NSW destined for Chile with a cargo of coal when she was lost with all hands.
