Beaumont's namesake ship leaves memories for town
Aboard the Port of Beaumont Texas a 183 foot 1200 ton diesel vessel endured nearly 18 months frozen in Antarctica. Veteran Robert Dodson recalls Arthur Owen a Boy Scout who joined Admiral Byrd's team as his assistant while Finn Ronne commanded dogs and aviation aided the venture. The record notes the vessel was the first motor ship frozen in Antarctica and that germs could not survive the ice.
