Benham Gertrude (w3168)
- Description: Gertrude Emily Benham was a British explorer and mountaineer, one of the most tireless women travellers of her time. She spent most of her life roaming the world, walking more than 29,000 km (18,000 miles). She climbed peaks in Switzerland, India, and Africa, including Mount Kilimanjaro and several Himalayan summits. She travelled through Asia, North and South America, Africa, and Oceania, often alone and with minimal resources, supporting herself through sketching and writing. She donated a large collection of artefacts to the Plymouth Museum. She died in 1938 aboard a ship off the West Indies during one of her last journeys
