The Sledge Possibly Used to Haul Equipment on an Antarctic Expedition Led By Admiral Richard. E. Byrd is a 10-foot long wooden sledge designed to be used for pulling heavy equipment and supplies through snow. A metal label is affixed to the sledge that reads "Extra Strong Sledge Used to transport extra heavy equipment" and a paper tag is attached with wire that reads "Admiral Byrd." The sledge consists of a combination of wooden and iron slats, with two iron rings on each end, two ropes tied to the stanchions on one end, and an additional 6-foot long unattached rope. The origin and use of this sledge is unknown, but it may have been used on one of Admiral Byrd's Antarctic expeditions between 1928-1956, and may have been constructed around the same time, though the definitive date of construction is unknown.
