Art Deco style mosaic on the former British Polar Engines Works on Helen Street on the Southside of Glasgow. The company was formed in 1927 to produce a range of reliable marine diesel engines originating from a Swedish design which was used on the Fram as part of Roald Amundsen's 1906 expedition to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1911. It went into liquidation in 2022.
