Tom Crean was born on or shortly before 16th February 1877. It's incorrect to state he was born on 25th February and as for 20th July date, still given as his birthdate in a number of accounts of his life, it too misinforms those wishing to learn more about him. #tomcrean

Tom Crean was born in Gortacurrane, Annascaul on 25 February, 1877. 🟩🟨⚓️🇦🇶⚓️🟨🟩 According to Crean’s naval records, he was born 20/7/1877. However, his birth cert. records 25/2/1877. Image: @ShackletonMus Tim Foley believes Tom’s birthday was 16/2/1877. See @TomCreanBook

#OTD 1912 Crean and Lashly refuse an order from the scurvy-stricken, Edward Evans, to continue without him. He was placed on the sledge which they hauled across the ice Evans later revealed that after giving the order, it was Crean who said "If you go out, we all go out together"
