Cape Royds was actually the fourth place during the 1908-1909 expedition where Shackleton tried to land. The hut was erected on 13 Feb 1908 but not fully sealed for several more weeks. The inside dimensions are 10 x 5.8 x 2.4 meters and slept 15 men!
The center table was on a pulley system to raise it to the ceiling when not in use.
