The one thing my grandma left me was a genuine photograph of Shackleton’s ship stuck in the ice signed by Shackleton himself!! What a treasure
Indeed
tomasb7113 - just wow ! I am a great fan of Shackleton and when I feel sorry for myself, I think of what he, and his crew, went through and shut up ! Very envious of your signed photo - what a treasure your grandma left you. ❤
I'll buy it for 200000 dollars if you would like to sell it , is it genuine
My Uncle Ned sailed with Shackleton and wow does he have some stories and regales us every Holiday with a new and exciting one. We have a huge portrait of Shackleton in out home. God bless you Captain Shackleton and God bless you Uncle Ned!
Oh yeah my great uncle left me a pair of Worsley’s tidy whities.
Without Captain Worsleys skill at navigation they all would have died... For me he is the real hero. What a legend.
without Shackleton as leaders worsleys and all crew would have dead
Team effort my friend TEAM EFFORT ✌🇬🇧👍
They were all absolutely crucial for varying reasons, that’s why crews are carefully picked.
Worsley got them home but they all lived because of shackleton. Shackleton refused to let them give up and die when that would have been so easy to do
Tom Crean
For me, the fact that he brought all of his man alive home, after all that they have survived, is much greater achivment than crossing the Antarctic....a pure miracle. Especially if we look at some other expedition where no one have survived....
👍...some other expeditions..??? Almost every that got to close to the ANT., or any of many yet undiscovered secrets it hides..!) ; (well we arent told, better said)..BtW: Best Comment👌
A miracle for sure. But in order facilitate that miracle, Worsley had to be a world class navigator with superb seamanship! It takes a special kind of man to do what he did. And he certainly deserves the greatest part of the glory. You rightly point out that without him, presumably nobody would ever have heard the story.
Does no one remember Franklin
Agreed
As a sailor i cant imagine taking a 22ft boat 800miles accross that icy strormy sea, and with the gear they had too.
Remarkable men.
The German Expeditioneer Arved Fuchs did the whole Trip again to honor those men. He LED build up a new James Carhard boat , sailed it the same Route and climbed the same Mountains at the island to get to save. He wrote a book about that, it is well worth to reader it: " Im Schatten des Pols " " In the shadow of the Pole "
Several others tried it and had to be rescued. @@matztertaler2777
I think it is a grave injustice that Shackleton denied McNish the Polar Medal. Anyone of those men who survived deserves it regardless of what happened.
To add insult to not getting the polar medal 🏅, he also completely depended on McNish to get the James Caird not only sea worthy, but built a top to keep some of wind away so that they could cook their hoosh!
Shackleton seems to have been only about Shackleton. Telling Worsley that he depended on him and knew nothing about small boats and then taking all of the credit back home just sucks and now after a century has past, Worsley is finally getting the recognition he so richly has deserved this whole time. Worsley saved them all, he should’ve been knighted for what he did.
It was Frank Worsley that saved the men. His skill with the sextant guided their way to South Georgia Island from Elephant Island. Shackleton never Forgave Mcnish for his conduct/ behavior.
Totally agree
McNish would have killed every last man with his actions if Shackleton hadn't stood up to him
There is no telling what may have happened if someone did not say something to McNish. McNish was the ships carpenter. All these men were desperate just to live in the harshest climate in the World. Getting to Elephant Island was a task from where they abandoned the Ship.
By a mile, it's the best documentary I have watched this year. The endurance courage and strength and the unseen forces helping hand.
Lol, this year has just started.
*Without a doubt, one of the most astounding survival tales of all time.*
They may not have accomplished their original goal, but what they have left us with, I would argue,
is a far more _stunning tale about the power of the human will to survive._
TRAGIC too - MOST of them went to The Front and perished.
And Gods help. Later Shakleton stated, that there was a man going in front of them to cross the mountains. There was no way they could have find the right way through it to get to the village. An Angel leaded them.
@@matztertaler2777 Lucky lucky them.
In a world full of endless suffering, at least a small band of men got lucky.
But as for all of the innocent babies that die from horrific diseases, famine, injury, natural disasters, ect, ect, too bad for them ?
Oh well.
All hail _Lord Krishna._ lol
@@moodyrick8503 your answer shows, in that toppic you are educated like a 8 years old kid. So, no baseline to Dialog here.
@@matztertaler2777 *Childish Insults, not a surprise.*
But zero rebuttal to a serious problem.
An arbitrary God that saves some, (the lucky), while _letting others suffer horrifically._
As a member of Sir Ernest "church" i have read half a dozen books on this odessy and watched about a hundred videos. this one is the best if them all. Outstanding use of all possible narrative tools. Chapeau, guys. You rendered proper honors to the one in history exploring adventure
Great reply. Presumably you agree that Captain Worsley, his world class seamanship and navigational skills should be the one left holding the glory? Without him, I dare say that Shackleton would not have ended up as much more than a "footnote" in the glorious annals of discovery.
Shackleton was a fool to the point of being Criminal. My father in law was on one of the last crews on the Norwegian Whaling Station, and I have a fair idea how lethally extreme conditions are, even at the coast of Antarctica.
When the Norwegian Whalers, the toughest breed of Arctic Dwellers you will ever find, told Shackleton that the ice conditions were the most extreme they had ever seen, he should have applied himself, and whomever of his crew who wanted to stay behind, to work as whalers for a season. That's an extreme job, especially back then. They were well stocked up, and with the Norwegian Whalers expertise in staving off scurvy and winter depressions, they would have had an adventure in itself, and it wouldn't have put his whole crew in mortal danger.
As for scurvy, the trick is to eat the whole of the animal, not just the meat and the fat. The internal organs, including the content of the guts are plenty rich in Vitamin C. Just go easy on the liver. Liver of Arctic Predators are extremely rich in Vitamin A (retinol) - enough to give you Hypervitaminosis A. Retinol is one of the few vitamins that you can overdo to the point of lethal toxicity. That's one of the many lessons Amundsen and Nansen learnt from the Inuits on Greenland when they stayed with them to learn their ways of surviving in the Polar Regions. Besides, Norwegians venturing out into the Extreme Arctic were always well stocked up on Pemmican, a bar which is a mixture of fats and tallow, dried meat and plenty of Vitamin C rich berries. Pemmican is an invention of the indigenous tribes of Arctic North America.
I'm the First Officer of a wooden school ship. In my educated opinion, if Shackleton had been totally serious about giving the expedition the best chance of survival, he would have BUILT a dedicated ship capable of surviving the pack ice. A ship, oak on oak, with a strongly laid out hull, flat bottomed, will, with some work from the crew pop on top of the pack ice and can survive a winter in a Polar Sea Region. It's not the best sailor, but it will keep you warm and with dry feet in the total 24 hour darkness in the Polar Winter.
If you ask me, Captain Frank Worsley, with his optimism, skills and brilliant seamanship is the one who deserved a title and be lauded as the Great Explorer. With his background, that is; lacking experience in navigating pack ice seas, he pulls off the unimaginable! What a guy!
Absolutely worthy to stand among our own Norwegian Arctic Hero Explorers.
Salute to Captain Worsley!
SO glad I read all the dreary Britsh epedition accounts _before_ reading Amundsen's wonderful adventure ... . . . .
The story is perfect because of the imperfections of the main players. Both Scott and Shack were motivated by glory and less by the type of love that Amundsen had for the game.
But for the Endurance - without Wild, without McCleatch, without Worsley, the story wouldn’t be near what it is. And the bottom line lesson - always listen to the Norwegians!! ❤
@@Shackleton71 Tom Creen - unsung _HERO_!
I totally agree! As the Norwegian polar ships, the "Fram" and the "Maud" were purpose built, they both showed that they could in fact withstand the forces of the ice, being squeezed upwards, ending up on top of the ice, as for instance on the Nansen expedition trying to reach the North Pole in the late 1890's. Not so with the "Endurance"; it was crushed by the ice, having a conventional hull shape, and not a rounded and strongly reinforced bottom. The British could have learned a lesson from the Norwegians here, which they didn't (once again!). Anyway, Worsley was a great capacity, a great soul, and a first rate seaman. Many people, and their offspring today, owe their lives to Capt. Frank Worsley. His judgement was sound, true and straightforward, and, happily, Shackleton listened to him. Or else, they would all most probably have perished. And no one would have lived to tell the tale.
Couldn’t agree more. 🎉
The endurance of the human race is extraordinary.
Every single person on this earth has the potential and ability to mean survival to any other.
And in our darkest moments, it is our fellows, and even those we may not agree with or like that may be the difference between our end, and our salvation.
What a beautiful tale where hope overcame hazard
Nah the Kardashians couldn’t survive Antarctica.
But it would make a great TV show 🤔
@@fastinradfordable😂😂😂
I can’t stop reading books and watching videos about the endurance. 😂❤
Very well done and well said. Frank was a true hero and so was Chippy! Thank You for posting this!
‘For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.” Raymond Priestly…. But we know the real Hero
The other day I walked past Shackleton's house in Eastbourne and thought wow just to think what he and these hardy men had endured.
Yeah, Eastbourne must have been awful place to live.
@@keepgoing1973
What does that sentence mean?? In what context? I don't actually know whether he lived there after his maritime experiences.
Incredible, superhuman survival story , I've seen documentaries about it but this really captured the punishment they all endured , I think Shackleton had a resentment towards Mc Neash for some reason but he deserved the medal as much as the others. I think he was cruel at times, but they all survived so i don't know, but Its one of the most powerful stories of survival in human history , captain Worsley is the true hero of the entire expedition 👏
Excellent record of the true expedition. Certainly changed my opinion on Shackleton and not for the better. The true heroes being Worsley and the ships crew of Endurance
A great compassionate leader loved by all his men
Can't imagine sailing 800 nautical miles in a 23 footer in gale force winds and 40 or 50 foot seas, taking sextant sights in those conditions and hitting a small island when missing it meant certain death. And I have crossed the Pacific four times on the bridge of Coast Guard Cutters before GPS.
Thank god the film got saved!
It’s Ai generated.
My favorite survival story of all time. If anyone knows of any others that are extremely unlikely like this, please mention it as a reply. Love watching, reading, or listening to truly unbelievable situations that people survive.
Nature is scary, that's without question, but so is the human will to live if you really think about it. Imagine being lost at sea for an unknown amount time. No food or water, you don't know much about currents or other landmasses in your area, so you resort to catching and drinking sea turtle blood for sustenance, or eating a raw bird that just happens to land on your liferaft. Something we'd never do if back at home. It's awesome in the literal sense of the word.
_Poon_ _Lim_ still holds the record for the LONGEST solo survival at sea ordeal. Good book. Think I've read all the castaway books - definitely a good place to start.
The single GREATEST book of all time as far as I'm concerned is _PAPILLON_ !
@@dancarter482 I second papillon.
Must read for any male human
They are all alive ,where the most beautiful words that good say !! This is a really great docu ,thank you very mutch ! Greetings Lillian from the Netherlands 🌹🇳🇱
The real travesty of history is that nowhere in the movie is mention the Name of Chilean Navy Captain Luis Pardo Villalon who was the commander assigned to take the Yelcho to Antartica to rescue the 22 men that Shackleton left in elephant Island. The Yelcho was totally unsuitable for Antarctic conditions, lacking proper heating, radio and double hull. However Captain Pardo and his crew took Shackleton aboard the Yelcho and , on 25 August, Pardo sailed from Punta Arenas on the Strait of Magellan. By that time of the year the Antarctic winter was at its height and ice conditions were difficult as the Yelcho neared Elephant Island, and on 30 August, the 22 men were rescued. They arrived back in Punta Arenas on 3 September to a hero's welcome. Pardo was immediately promoted to pilot first class and given several civilian medals and naval honours, and credit for ten years of service for his rescue feat. The story make it sound like the "superior " Shackleton rescue them, when not even his country trust him. I visited the Shackleton exposition in London in I beleive 2012 (I believe) and the same, nowhere they mention Pardo and his achievement, a real injustice.
The power of self belief and positive thinking will get you through the worst of times!
That was a wonderful film. The sea journey goes next to Captain Bligh's journey of 1300 miles in an open boat with even less chance of success.
I listen to the story on Audible ... it contains many more details and by the time I felt the cold just by listening to it... incredible story!
Have you read his diary ? It's called South and is free on Gutenberg. ❤
Ive got to say as leader of the expedition to round Cape Horn in the worlds first sailing kayaks Kaymaran in the mid 80's ,and having experienced hardship, though not qjuite on the levels of the Shackleton experience...One would have to say that there are so many factors which come into play when one has spent years believing in a project, trying to raise sponsorship for it, and trying to bring it to fruition. ...One comes to a point when the word failure becomes non existent, and a non entity, and the ability to blinker ones self to believe in something which can appear to others as virtually impossible , sometimes to the detriment of the team pushing and pulling for all they're worth to bring such success about, can get the better. Shackleton was out for his own true glory, there's no doubt about that, He made wrong decisions in his fixed focus and lone quest to conquer, risking the necks of his fellow crew in the verdict. the unsung hero in this expedition was Tom Crean ...He was also a totally unsung hero in Scotts quest to reach the pole earlier... Without Worsley, Crean and indeed Frank Wild Shackleton would have been totally and completely stuffed.
hey red bull, thats what i call a real challenge! after 2 weeks open sea in a lifeboat, climbing several mountains he finally joined the front of world war one... big respect, dude
It takes more strength to live than to die.
Sometimes dying, requires more strength than living_ ;*
Most people fear death way more than living. (you live every day, but only die once)
The will to survive is one of the strongest drives that a human can have. (and likewise, one of the hardest to overcome)
For some, accepting death is far far harder thing to do, than to keep on living. (ex : a soldiers sacrifice)
dying = a state of mind .. (::)
Fascinating love following Shackleton documentary’s. All I can think about as they travel through the icebergs is the Titanic
Simply Brilliantly. The adventure and the narrative
Just a great human story what man can do when he puts aside his pride and his love shines
one of the best told storys captain hade a big heart
Thank you!!!
Tom Crean saved them!
Justice for Mcnish and his cat
Yes I feel sad he didn’t get the polar medal- he so often contributed - eg fixing the James Caird up, putting screws in the 3’s shoes for their walk across S Georgia. Conceded he didn’t approach it well re dragging the boats - but Worsley agreed & then Shackleton stopped. So apologies and forgiveness needed- then move on- McNeish then contributed v significantly if not vitally - it’d have been gracious and good for him to have got the Polar Medal - (did I read Worsley thot he should too?)
I’ve read this story again and again - their crossing reminds me of Sharach Medshad & Abednego in the fire- with the fourth man with them keeping them from being burnt. All 3; Worsley Shackleton & Crean felt there were 4!
an incredible feat of human endeavor and strength of caricature that I feel is lacking today
Strength of character.....
your fears are very well founded ,, UK is a Country that has lost its way
My strength of caricatures of sexton - all the salts at whaling station sayin Don’t Go, Shackleton’s meme “You don’t know me”
I disagree. Ordinary people living ordinary lives overcoming extreme personal difficulties are all around us. Unsung heroes
An entire film about Wuzzles!
Seriously- I need to carve out time to watch this
رائع.....مشوق....مذهل...كل حاجه ....فى هذ الفلم...الروائى العلمى التاريخى..
I used to know someone sbout 20 years ago who was the first person in many years to set foot on Elephant Island. The weather there is often too bad to land. I've been to Scott's hut but never made it to Shackleton's.
ليت الايام الجميله تعود يوما
that was so good to watch
The Greatest Adventure of mankind ❤❤
Tom Crean is not given his dues in this documentary. He was key to the teams survival
This story is similar like what I read in Jules Verne book’s : The Adventures of Captain Hatteras..
Worsley’s own account is a great read
A wonderful documentary, but they skipped the part where they walked into the whaling station. Everyone was walking out going to work, and they were walking in - complete strangers. When they met the man in charge who knew Shackleton, he turned away and wept.
Great brave men
Bravery has nothing to do with it , it's all wits
@@gagewalker770 There's nothing wits in Shackleton's decisions. He was an arrogant and foolish leader. Then, when he messed up everything, he relied on others to sort out the problems he caused. Finally, he collected the praise, fame and awards for all of it 😒
What an adventure
It must have been devastating to arrive at Elephant Island and not see a single paciiderm in sight.
And now it's so easy to go to Antarctica.
Wish this went more in to how they survived on Elephant Island... That story could be an hour in itself.
Worsley with his sextant saved the men. It was an epic journey from Elephant Island to The whaling Station at South Georgia Island. Being bounced around in The James Cairn Boat. An 800 mile trip from Elephant Island in A 22.5 foot boat. Shackleton was Known as the Boss.
Thank you so…
My Cousin Howard took his Inheritance and bought a small Yacht. She was "the Happy". He planned to sail round the world in it, stopping to live here or there. Maclean's magazine did a couple page article with one picture of Howie sailing Lake Ontario. We talked before he left for about a week. He would sail over to the Azores, Ibiza etc, down to N. Africa and south to Australia. He hit a reef off the N.E. coast of Australia. I saw the pictures he took during the wreck. Everything he owned was basically underwater. Sad stuff.
Is this Howard Wayne Smith ? He even got "Happy ||" to Australia and got Australian customs to impose a bond on his boat as he failed to obtain a visa before arriving?
Is Howard still aliv? , his boat is in possession of Queensland Maritime Museum
@@nourdinemazali493 Wow, I had no Idea. Regretfully, I have not seen Howard since the 80's (late 80's). Saw him when he returned to Toronto...asd, as I said Very Sad
I am lost. The story has no beginning
It's crazy to think that some 5,000 men applied to be a part of this expedition!
This is why Europeans conquered the World.
People that's what real men do" REAL MEN EVEN THOUGH THE ODDS WE'RE AGAINST THEM THEY CAME OUT ON TOP " NOT MANY ABOUT LIKE THAT NOW AND WHAT A SHAME THAT IS
Wow! Amazing 👏
Since movies were still silent in those days, can anyone please explain to me how I hear the sound of the dogs barking and the ship cracking and creaking? Watching this shows me how tough these men were... True Men among Men
Those sounds are edited in
I remember the first time I saw this documentary when I was a kid, horrified at the whole thing- probably not staying to watch to the end
Excellent 👍
excellent!!
So what’s everyone’s view on Robert Greene’s description of this story? Very different tale, with Shackleton being the hero and father figure reading the crew and adapting to their behaviour?
Elephant Island is a piece of rock sticking out of the ocean. The Most inhospitable place on the Planet Earth. Crossing the ocean in a boat with a sextant. They made it to South Georgia Island.800 miles from Elephant Island.
It must've been devastating being forced to watch the vessel which has been your home and(more importantly)life support for the past few months being smashed to pieces infront of you.
Quite disheartening I would've thought.
So it seems that Captain Worsley was the bit man after all.
???
I am not going to the Arctic or the Antarctica. ..probably not Everest either
Unless and until you are a member of the British Admiralty. ..
Terrible injustice Mcnish not been given the Polar Medal, if it weren't from him the expedition wouldn't have got Anywhere, he was an experienced craftsman, thought he was a Scotsman though.
Against all common sense and against the good advice of fishermen they proceeded into the ice. Well, as long as they had a good time in the outdoors that's the important thing.
iI would get DNA from Shackleton's grandson and other relatives see if there's anything which is the same with tier one special forces men and also relatives from the andes survival men and their DNA to see if there's a genome which helps you have a better chance of survival and especially the stamina type genome?
Grab Tom Creams DNA too. Seriously hard bastard.
Shackleton saved all his men..Franklin died with his
Astronauts (of their day)... that's hilarious. The world is a stage
and you arent even a bit player.
Fun fact:
When the crew got to Elephant Island the first day they got there was the celebration of the titanic
Trick is not to put yourself in a jackpot.
Narration leaves me wanting for something more

fantasy. utter pure fantasy. Frank Worsley was born and raised in the center of an extinct volcano.
England must be such an awful place and the English must have been so awful to each other that so many of them would sooner go on these hellacious sea journeys than to stay there
No,not at all.Just brave men with a keen sense of adventure and a wish to explore the then un-charted World.😊
And they weren't all from England.There were people from all over the British Empire - Ireland,Scotland,Wales,Australia,New Zealand and Canada.
@@ExcaliburDawn yeah with keen sense of adventure about how to steal every last dime of other people’s natural resources. History’s greatest thieves. This isn’t hyperbole just facts of the English Empire.
Add to last comment, there is no Lack of character today!,old timer, be plenty of if know where to look.
I wonder if Shackleton did any speaking tours like most men do after say, they had did something which no man had ever endured?
I wonder if Shackleton had ever acknowledged his foolishness and arrogance 🤔
@@verabolton You would never be able to understand a bloke like Shack ~ Sadly
@@andyb.1026yep when you have command of all those men, your the captain and nothing or should i say no matter what others say, its your way or the hwy, but i bet my life, he held court to get the best idea's and then if they survived he would have said they were all his ideas, noticed that none of the other men are interviewed NONE of them, why when they were all there together?
Like eating the dogs and anything that moved, its a typical English upper lip type of story, in other words tell lies till you get rich?👍👍🦘🦘✌✌👌👌
is the bot narrator quoting from a primary source or cosplaying as the subject matter?
Did better then Franklin
Too bad churchill was on the expedition and lost there to an icy and oh so fitting grave.
and you would now be speaking German
if we need sub titles turned on then we know how.....thumbs down for you
Roald Amundsen was a greater, more accomplished, smarter and more successful explorer than were Shackleton, Peary and Scott (a total failure).
And a lying piece of shit, who focused only on his ego.
I mean what kind of man says one thing then does another?
I know
A hypocrite.
At least they tried...No need to be disrepectful
Totally missed the point.
U need a bit of moral education,
It’s not about who is good better and best
We all make mistakes, they did it when there was no GPS and tech
Enormity of the task is huge
The
Shackleton litterally didnt care if they died or not lmao nun but greed and ego
Yes bet I bet Shackleton could spell none.
