Most Antarctic polar buffs are familiar with the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1901-4 under the leadership of Otto Nordenskjöld, but because all of the primary sources are in Spanish and Swedish few are familiar with the interesting homeward-bound journey aboard the Argentinean relief vessel Uruguay. The ship was severely damaged in a storm north of the South Shetland Islands, and just what transpired between the Argentinean and Swedish staffs became a matter of intriguing controversy and pride for the Argentineans. The controversy ends logically and fittingly.

When the Corvette Uruguay Was Dismasted is an English-language translation of a rare pamphlet entitled "Cuando la Corbeta Uruguay Quedo Desarbolada" (Buenos Aires: 1946) that brought the controversy to light, together with an historical introduction and appendices containing the relevant, original Spanish and Swedish materials.
