Thomas Crean was born on 1873-04-19.
Tom Crean (Thomas Aaron Crean, born 1966) is the current head coach of Indiana University's men's basketball team. The historic Tom Crean (Thomas Crean 1877-1938) was an Irish seaman of the Royal Navy who accompanied three Antarctic expeditions. He survived two ill-fated journeys (Scott's death at the South Pole, and Shackleton's miraculous lifeboat voyage after the Endurance sank).
No, Tom Crean was not the first Irishman to go to the Antarctic. The first Irishman to reach the Antarctic was Edward Bransfield, who led an expedition in 1820. Tom Crean was a notable explorer who participated in several expeditions to Antarctica in the early 20th century.
Thomas Crean died on 1923-03-25.
Tom Crean participated in three expeditions to Antarctica. He accompanied Robert Falcon Scott on the Discovery Expedition in 1901–1904, then Ernest Shackleton on the Nimrod Expedition in 1907–1909, and finally Shackleton again on the ill-fated Endurance Expedition in 1914–1917.
Tom Crean participated in three Antarctic expeditions, and was never included in any trek to the South Pole. His contributions were significant and included life-saving efforts for at least one of his peers. He was never 'sent back' from any expedition.
Thomas Molyneux has written: 'Conjunct expeditions'
Tom Crean, an explorer who participated in three Antarctic expeditions, would have worn heavy and durable clothing suitable for cold and harsh conditions. This likely included layers of wool and fur to provide insulation, as well as waterproof gear to protect against snow and ice. Crean would have also worn sturdy boots and gloves to keep his extremities warm and dry.
