Collected plays, 2015- : volume 1 (Shackleton's carpenter, Harry McNish) Wikipedia, November 6, 2018 (Harry McNish; Henry McNish (11 September 1874, Port Glasgow, Inverclyde-24 September 1930, Wellington, New Zealand), often referred to as Harry McNeish or by the nickname Chippy, was the carpenter on Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917; After the expedition he returned to work in the Merchant Navy and eventually emigrated to New Zealand, where he worked on the docks in Wellington until poor health forced his retirement. He died destitute in the Ohiro Benevolent Home in Wellington. There is some confusion as to the correct spelling of his name. He is variously referred to as McNish, McNeish, and MacNish. The McNeish spelling is common, notably in Shackleton's and Frank Worsley's accounts of the expedition and on McNish's headstone, but McNish is also widely used, and appears to be the correct version) Wikipedia, November 6, 2018 (McNish Island was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Harry McNish (1874-1930), carpenter on Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917. The name was changed from McNeish Island to McNish Island in 1998 after submittal of Henry McNish's birth certificate to the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee proved the correct spelling of his surname) Shackleton Exhibition website, September 11, 2016, viewed online November 6, 2018: on this day in 1874 (On 11 September, 1874, Henry 'Chippy' McNish was born at 8 Lyons Lane, Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, Scotland) <https://shackletonexhibition.com/on-this-day-in-1874-mcnishs-birthday/> OCLC, November 6, 2018 (access points: McNeish, H.; McNeish, Harry; McNeish, Harry, 1874-1930; usage: H.
