Terra Nova immortalised by Ponting seen again

13704142472?profile=RESIZE_400xThe Terra Nova, the ship immortalised by Herbert Ponting, has been filmed for the first time since it sank in 1943. The ship which was resdiscovered in 2012 carried Captain Scott's doomed polar expedition in 1912. The BBC's report used Ponting's images but failed to credit him, only the commercial picture libraries and collections housing his work. Ponting died in 1935 and his work is out of copyright, but deserves credit for creating images that retain their power today.
