    Shackleton and the story of the Endurance is one of the greatest stories of survival, and of the human spirit conquering all adversity. Not just with modern day equipment, but 100+ years ago where technology, equipment and survival gear was pretty much rudimentary...for every single member of the crew to survive, is a damn near miracle. Shackleton, worsley and his crew have always been my heroes, the discovery of this ship a century on, made my day

    FYI: The wreck of Endurance was discovered on 5 March 2022, nearly 107 years after she sank, by the search team Endurance22. She lies 9,869 feet (3,008 m; 1,645 fathoms) deep, and is in good condition. The wreck is designated as a protected historic site and monument under the Antarctic Treaty System.

    Read the book "South" by Ernest Shackleton, it is incredible. The ship was trapped in the growing ice for quite a while before she broke up. The crew were able to land supplies and equipment and several lifeboats which were then used in their survival. Shakleton eventually got to the island of South Georgia and mounted several rescue attempts before managing to rescue the entire crew.

      There was a ship that is remarkably preserved from the 1700's that looked like it had only just sunk. It only sunk a few hundred meters but the reason why that ship and this Endeavor ship is remarkably preserved is because the environment is inhospitable to organisms that feed on organic matter. Water itself doesn't cause rust or decay but rather these organisms.

    Oh wow I missed this, really amazing. For anyone interested in the subject there is a book 'Tom Creen an Unsung Hero's I believe that is a biography of the namesake. He was on every one of the antarctic expeditions of that period including this one. He was one of the three men who hiked through the unmapped mountains of Georgia, after crossing the southern sea in a fricking 18 foot open lifeboat. To reach a whaling outpost (which they were uncertain existed) to eventually bring back help to their stranded shipmates, whom also miraculously, all survived something like 74 days awaiting rescue. Its so beyond baffling the 'endurance' of these men people talk about toxic masculinity, furthest thing from it, genuine harder than tungsten, brave and selfless explorers of a bygone era. Truly thrilling they found Endurance, a good read as well however lacking the depth and detail of the aforementioned title.

      Titanic was a huge, lumbering supertanker compared to Endurance. Titanic weighed 130 times as much as Endurance. Also, Endurance was specifically designed for polar voyages and was far more strongly built than any normal wooden ship - although she wasn’t designed to be trapped in pack ice for nearly a year.

But the Endurance was blown deeper into the ice floes by a very severe gale which blew her closer and closer Antarctica for 6 days, and the wind also blew and compressed millions of tons of floating ice behind her together, which then froze into a solid mass, so the ship couldn’t escape.
