[QUOTE="Job, post: 2949813, member: 37196"] There has been much to do to get the expedition underway. Each day has started the same, breakfast in the Rose Room, followed by a meeting of the entire party at 8 a.m. Moore questions each person about their list--what is accomplished, what remains to do--and moves assignments around when anyone completes all tasks or falls behind. Moore's overflowing clipboard becomes legendary amongst the crew and the list of tasks seems endless. Most of the work has been simple inspection, but a few tasks were quite special. [list] [*]The entire aircraft crew traveled to Trenton, New Jersey, where the three Boeing aircraft were waiting at an airfield. Douglas Halperin (Starkweather's pilot), and Patrick Miles (the ship's aircraft mechanic) were amongst the crew who departed to handle this assignment. [*]Professor Moore did not trust the loading of delicate scientific instruments and glassware to the stevedores and asked all scientific members of the crew [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][including George Barrow and Vitus][/COLOR] to inspect and load these items. [*]The expedition's dogs required settling [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][with Øyvind's help][/COLOR] into cages in the number five tween-deck hold. The cages were rather sturdy solid wooden boxes with barred fronts, custom-made to hold the huskies comfortably on their long voyage south. The cages arrived in pieces and required assembly.
