Sadly for you, Aurora Australis is from one of the earlier, sucessful, scientific expeditions to the Antarctic. :D

Surely the ships are Endurance/ghost of Erebus, and Shackleton/his men? ;-) But I encourage all possible fanworks in all variations, in this case especially the forms and genres of the original which include art, poetry, weird dream fiction, and travel writing (serious and not so serious), amongst other possibilities (such as expanding the timeline to cover more history). :-)
