#Shipwreck #Antarctica #Endurance
I think one of the most amazing things about this wreck is you can see the grain in the wood, impressive....most impressive.
water will be crystal clear out there helping the filming, but definitely its crazy.
I was looking at that.. absolutely marvelous.. especially being under water this long..
You’ll find that the ocean is full of surprises. ;)
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
Absolutely agree I am blown away by the human spirit of those men.
If this ISN'T a miracle, what is???
Was going to post tge same sentiments.
and most of the crew died in the mud and horror of ww1 didnt they?
I love Shackleton's story - amazing story against impossible odds, but he comes through!!!!
This was Ernest Shackleton’s ship. He published his journal from his expedition. The book is called south. It is a heroic survival story. They all managed to survive. It took them like 5 years to get out of the Antarctic but they did it
Wild someone ever had the balls to roll thru the ice in a wooden ship
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.
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.
Right now this is the discovery of the century, and rightfully so. This discovery not only brings the story to life once again it also shows us something that we never knew. That the cold water can keep gold paint in place after over 100 years.
I'd argue finding Franklin's two ships and finally solving a bit of that mystery is the bigger discovery - but only just ;)
I really hope that someone doesn't plunder it. That would be heartbreaking, it's such a incredible find. Cheers
@@TheGodParticle I hope so too
Actually the discovery of the Lost Franklin ships are much more monumental of this century.
Franklins more profonde since it might solve the mystery of what happened to the lost expedition.
Shackleton brought every man from his crew home. That hopefully stays in the history books!!!
The dog however....
The ship's carpenter never forgave Shackleton for killing his cat. He was interviewed years later and was still bitter over the loss. He also made the decision to put down the sled dogs. I guess I understand needing to save supplies for the humans, but I think I would be bitter also if he murdered my cat.
@@DMZub13 Right cat. Though the sled dogs too but the cat was the one that upset people. And yeah a cat can survive on very few calories, the carpenter could have been asked if he was willing to sustain it with his own rations.
No doubt it will be removed from public schools because of excessive masculinity, white superiority and a total disregard for pregnant transgender sailors…
Except Mrs Chippy
Incredible to see a piece of history like that,
Wonderful to see such a famous ship. Amazed at the difference in the condition of the Endurance and, for example the Titanic. Different construction and different depths and wreck site environment obviously lead to different levels of deterioration over basically the same time period.
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.
Whats the name of the ship?@@luminatrixfanfiction
@@luminatrixfanfiction I mean water does cause rust but this ship is made of wood so it's mostly unfazed by rust.
@@SoupyMittens no but its fazed by rot. The rare exception to the rule is if microoganisms can't survive in deep sea levels of pressure or if the water is too cold. This ship is perfectly preserved because the water was too cold.
You couldn't just explore the incredible wreck, you had to bring up the "melting" ice. This report just stated the temperatures average -20 centigrade / -4F. Do we have to explain ice will not melt at those temperatures?
If these "scientists" notice fluctuation in the ice flows and patterns all I can say is, 'Welcome to the planet Earth!' The climate is constantly fluctuating.
Sure would of been nice to ACTUALLY SEE THE SHIP!
Yeah,didn't show much did they...
Seconded! They just kept looping the same, meager footage.
Dont give coordinates people will plunder it like titanic
Yeah a lot of artic divers
Titanic was not plundered? 😂
Tee Hee. Yea those feral scuba divers. Ship is at the bottom of the most inhospitable sea on earth
Yea most people will just trot right up there..
@@fmcdomer it’s at a depth of 9,869 feet, or 3,000 metres. Only a submersible can reach that depth.
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.
I absolutely love maritime history and archeology. So fascinating!
Amazing book, by the way. The crew members of the Endurance were heroes. Good job founding this legend vessel.
What a beautiful piece of history!
I know they said they weren't going to touch it but it does make me wonder if the wood is preserved well enough that it might be possible to raise it from the ocean?
The Endurance and all who sailed on her is a story of the mens determination to endure and survive in the most harsh cold environment on earth.
Shackleton hand picked those men who were tough. determined, resourceful, dependable.
They were from an age of true pioneers, and explorers.
Their likes will hardly emerge again soon ... if ever...
Absolutely fascinated on shipwreck at the moment. Super amazing story 🙏
The fact that from above you can see it down there weirds me out.
You mean it didn't start when Algore said it did? Or like this hasn't happened thousands of times before? Nothing new?
Not bad for being down there that long. It's amazing
Ships like this one should be salvaged and prepared for a museum. To declare it as a "historical site" is only a symbolic act wihout any real effect. It will rot away sooner or later even it is so well preserved until today.
Taking a wooden ship into icy waters like that in 1915? Didn't they hear about what ice did to the Titanic a few years before that?
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.
@@timonsolus interesting. I didnt know that
Titanic was sunk for insurance money fact
@@timonsolus Seems to any sane brain she wasn't designed very good.
@@Seltkirk-ABC : As I said, Endurance wasn’t designed to be trapped in pack ice for months on end. Getting trapped of course wasn’t in Shackleton’ original plan. 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.
I can’t wait for the last ice age to finally be over
It's still 1915 down there, frozen in time.
We were at the Museum in 2000 …awesome discovery
Endurance by name, Enduring by nature.
How that ship is preserved is Awesome !
Wish the Titanic was preserved like that :(
It's made from a wood
Wood doesn't rust
@@mrsmall9917wood rots though right? Especially over a century in salt water? I heard somewhere that the titanic isn’t rusting, but instead being eaten by micro bacteria as it’s so deep that the pressure doesn’t allow much oxygen down there for the metal to oxidize. Maybe it’s the same for this wood?
@@Xavieus Correct. It's also because the temperatures in this region are so cold that very few microbes and other critters exist to eat away at it. Aside from having limited disturbances being under an ice bed.
@@Xavieus yup
Was just thinking that too. It would have been incredible to see the titanic wreckage at this level of preservation. It looks like it practically just sunk.
Fantastic video. Very informative ❤️
Fantastic!... Shackleton would love you for it... frozin in time literally! 👍
The cold water preserves it. Wow
even the wood splinters where the mast broke are still intact as if it had just happened... crazy
This is amazing!
I have been obsessed with every aspect of this voyage for my whole life. When I saw her nameplate on the transom, I was speechless. What a gift to have found this remarkable piece of history.
Now if they can get some artifacts off it and put it in some museum, it would be awesome.
Another place that is “ in trouble” since we’ve only known anything about it for 100 years. Instrumentation in what 50 or so ?
Wow thing is in better condition than titanic
Shes in good shape, thats awesome.
A short documentary on a boring research ship with 20 seconds of Endurance footage. 👏
It’s a “Beautiful wreckage”, but yet they don’t mention the beauty of the people who perished below who froze and drown to death 😅
@@allaboutjapan237nobody died, Shackleton and Co abandoned ship LONG before she broke up and sank
I recently read the book on this subject. I don't think it's a coincidence this got reccomended to me.
Thanks youtube for actually suggesting really neat interesting stuff.bless the endurance and ice cubes and snow flakes and penguins
BEAUTIFUL>>>The star looks almost just polished
I love how Gandalf sorta pops back to scare Sam. Its very in character
Endurance, living up to its name...
Awesome, now let's find the Naronic!
amazing work!!
"This is a continent in trouble" GARBAGE!
“Ice is shrinking away” doesn’t help when a 1,000 ton ship keeps breaking through the ice 😅
This footage is amazing. So well preserved, technology has given a look at something incredible. Thank you for sharing 🌹⚓
Hope there is a way to raise and preserve this ship.
So if the ice is getting thinner.. than how do you suppose an old wooded ship got there?? Hmm its almost like the earth's climate goes warm to cold like us "global warming deniers" have been saying for years now!
The ship was an early ice breaker of sorts, built tougher. When it was originally there though the ice was not as densely packed, but thicker. As time went on and the expedition went on the ice grew trapping the ship and eventually crushed the hull causing her to take on water. Sorry i just thought i'd let you know exactly what happened after the absolute word salad you just spurt out. But this is what happens when individuals think they are smart and talk about things they have no idea about. It's called the dunning kruger effect ;)
I am sure all the equipment they used to get there and film this are solar and wind powered?
According to Shackleton the ship was crushed by the ice plate movements
Funny to find it.....intact after all these years.....those boys got bored and didn't want to wait out the thaw.....scuttled her
@@prod3362 there is a book by Alfred Lansing called Endurance. The book was originally published in 1959 and some members of the crew were still alive and provided first hand knowledge of the ordeal. The ice had cracked the hull, and even though the hull is intact, the ship was sinking and Shackleton gave the order to abandon ship.
@@Sherwoody I can write a book that says I'm napoleon Bonapartes descendent.....doesn't make it true
@@prod3362 perhaps you should read the book, you may find it informative.
from global warming caused by covid-1984
Endurence might be worth recovering and putting in a Museum.
Where it sits on the sea floor and how delicate the wreck is, it will be there until is decays away
Yes, the management has correctly decided to leave ENDURANCE In Situ. Visitors are welcome 24/7 at their own expense.
I think I also once read about a different shipwreck from e.g. 1870s in/near Hudson Bay in Canada.
3:56 My white whale is finding a winning lottery ticket.
1:55 not sure I would trust that snap shackle like that!
the title says shipwreck not the ship that looks at it, you have what 5 minutes of wreckage video?
i need to know what type of finish they used on that ship. my homes deck needs a new coat.
I have traveled this great country for many years, for business and pleasure. I have visited many national monuments but my two favorites will always be;
To have walked the Freedom Trail...
"The shot heard around the world"
And to stand on the decks of "Old Ironsides"
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;"
What great discovery!
I missed Old Ironsides last time I got all the way over to that side or the Atlantic. Saw Shuttle Discovery launch though. That was neat. But Constitution is on the list and at least one Iowa and I guess Texas, if they're already making her pretty again.
I did get to see HMS Victory. Which is why I am excited to see Constitution someday. I build these things as models, so I would take 2000 images to get every detail right. Including the "fake" US made carronades.
HMS Warrior was impressive too. Highly recommend if you ever sail to this side of the pond. QM2 does it occasionally, when she feels sentimental..
Oh yeah HMS Trincomalee is on that list big time too. Fully preserved classic heavy frigate. Mhhh lovely boat. Nothing against Constitution but she's a brute haha, more a 4th rate than a frigate.
So it's nice to have a normal frigate left too. You Americans can enjoy her too see how much bigger Connie is. And I will absolutely beg incessantly for any wood shavings or anything from some refit or repair. I have a tiny tiny piece of HMS Victory :) Like 3 mm of rotten wood.
Really amazing find.
No one died in that wreck. They were all rescued he was a great leader.
WHAT????
@@Xavieus yup
@@Xavieus he led the entire crew to rescue. History.
@@user-wg3wj6ur9z looked it up after commenting. That is an amazing story.
@@Xavieus Read the book "South" by Ernest Shackleton, it is incredible. BTW 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.
Needs to be recovered and put on display.
Only the icy depths keep it together. Bringing it to the surface would cause it to fall apart. They learned this salvaging the Hunley.
The Full Word ENDURANCE is there! wow! Not a letter missing.
This is an AMAZING story and the audiobook is free on YT
Absolutely recommend
That’s a kooky score playing…
After everything else has been taken to out left the ship like erebus but not exactly like erebus it has everything intact including the captain of the erebus.
Wow. It's almost as far down as Titanic
I would take that sweet polestar emblem off the front of the ship and put it in my room
The ice isn't melting away
so there was ice over 100 years ago, and there is still ice in the same spot today. how is the ice disappearing again??
They were expecting thicker ice.
This is awesome❤
when Antarctica is said to be cold because it regularly drops below -20c... i laugh, central Saskatchewan in Canada regularly gets below -30c and -40c isint uncommon, like even this last year hit -50 over one night i beleive
The previous video I saw about some US carrier was all feet, pounds and fathoms...
This one, however, spoken in proper science units (metric) is like music to my ears. It's so good to hear the grown ups speak.
Oh yeah, the wreck itself looks incredible, of course!
What is my white whale? There are 2 significant shipwrecks in the waters somewhere around New Foundland, Canada. They belong to the brothers: Gaspar Corte-Real and the other to Miguel Corte-Real respectively. Their father, João Vaz Corte-Real, arrived in Newfoundland before Columbus arrived in the Caribbean, making him the true first known European to land in the Americas. The Gasper and Miguel sons came back to New Foundland on multiple trips mapping our the area, both of them never returned.
Newfoundland is likely the island of the cod fish the senior Corte-Real described finding but that is uncertain. Gasper is recorded as having arrived in Labrador in 1500, named it, took captives and returned to Portugal. A year later, he sailed to the arctic looking for the Northwest passage and disappeared, his brother went looking for him shortly after and also disappeared.
And the Scandinavian maurauders arrived well before both of them.
This state of preservation is so incredible that I have to wonder how feasible a Vasa style recovery and preservation effort could be. Keeping in mind of course the immensely difficult environmental conditions surrounding the wreck of course.
Vasa was in shallow waters at the coast. This is in the Arctic in 3000 meters of water. The effort it took to raise Vasa is of nothing compared to Endurance.
Its crazy to think all that wood still looks almost brand new vs the titanic just rusting to nothing.
beautiful clipper
I guess all their food would still be down there preserved as well.
Wow she still looks beautiful
Here's a stupid question -- I once wanted to sink some wooden structures below water level and was stymied by the oversight that wood floats. Now here you have a wooden vessel that sank. Being primarily wood, shouldn't it have floated or at least bobbed around like an iceberg (like my wooden structures) rather than sank to the bottom of the sea?
Buoyancy is determined by density. Wood is less dense than water so it floats. A boat made from wood is mainly filled with air, which isn't as dense as water. The main point being that the density of the interior of the boat has to be less than the density of the water for it to float. If the hull is breached and the boat fills with water, instead of air and cargo, it will be water and cargo. Water + cargo is not less dense than water, so it sinks.
@@Thatonedere So it only sank because of the cargo. If they had thrown all of the cargo overboard it would have floated?
@@darioinfini The Endurance sank from pressure from the surrounding ice. It crushed the stern and tore away the rudder post. In this case they were kinda screwed no matter what
They MUST RECOVER these wrecks and take them home.
It's in crushed dude it can never be moved
Once it hits the surface, the wood would decompose real real quick.
That is remarkable!
The bell and the wheel, leave everything else, it's not a graveside afterall.
Finding Douglas Mawson's camera would be incredible. But realistically, who knows what shape it'd be in.
They need to go and bring the whole thing up.
No
Don’t tell ocean gate about this
*RIP Mrs. Chippy* 😿
Have booked on ' Oceangate ' for a tour, expensive, yes.
Very Impressive, but Not Enough photos
My white whale would be finding the ship Baychimo in Alaska. Last time it was spotted on the surface was 1969.
Yes the glaciers are shrinking. However throughout Earth’s history there have been many times where global temperatures have risen and fallen. Ice cores from Greenland proves this
On the surface, the pirates might wake up
This would be a cool wreck to raise to the surface
She is hardly intact, since the ship started flooding after being crushed by ice.
The men were incredible brave of history 💫
This Video RULES !!! 👍🏻
Am i the only one who is disturbed by the guys painting of a womans head made of what looks like madusa or electrical wires?.....
