      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.

      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.

      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.

  • @NorwayT
    @NorwayT Před rokem +30

    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!

      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!! ❤

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
