What Wikipedia says

Pourquoi-Pas (from the French pourquoi pas?, 'why not?', pronounced [puʁkwa pa]) was the fourth ship built for Jean-Baptiste Charcot, which completed the second Charcot expedition of the Antarctic regions from 1908 to 1910. Charcot died aboard when the ship was wrecked on 16 September 1936 off the coast of Iceland.
