Endurance Discovery

[Firebird]

Have read a book about this voyage and awhile back there was a good article in Sports Afield magazine. And now, sleeping in the cold locker, is Shackleton’s long lost ship. Very fascinating, eager to know more!

The is is an amazing discovery of an even more amazing event.

The story on their whole expedition is amazing. The fact that they all survived, and managed to make it back is a testament to times of strong men, and great leadership.

I really enjoy the excavations at their camp, especially where they found 3 cases of Mackinlays Scotch buried in the ice!

It’s interesting to read about this account and then about the whale ship Essex (Philbricks in the Heart of the Sea). Similar circumstances, vastly different outcomes.

It’s also interesting to compare Shackleton’s leadership with that of Robert Falcon Scott’s earlier disaster.

It’s also interesting to compare Shackleton’s leadership with that of Robert Falcon Scott’s earlier disaster.

Yeah Shackleton worked for Scott years earlier and they didn’t get along. Shackleton left Scotts ship early with health problems but everyone assumed it was because he wouldn’t put up with Scotts leadership style.

One of the better vids I have watched-from the crew that made the discovery. Some fascinating details, and further salvage info etc
