Harry McNeish was a carpenter on Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition to Antarctica. He was also known as the caretaker of Mrs. Chippy, the cat that accompanied the men until the Endurance became trapped in pack ice.
To honor the brave kitty, the New Zealand Antarctic Society added a bronze statue of Mrs. Chippy to McNeish's grave in 2004, seen as she would usually lounge on his bed onboard the ship.
