The ship Endurance was the vessel used by Sir Ernest Shackleton for an Antarctic expedition in 1914. It became trapped in pack ice and eventually crushed, leading to an epic survival story as Shackleton and his crew abandoned ship and journeyed to safety.
It is a ship that was the first to reach the south pole. But it was crushed from the ice. And thankfully no one was hurt or killed.
The Endurance left London, England on the evening of declaration of WW1, August 1,1914. On December 5 ,1914 they departed Grytviken, South Georgia heading for Antarctica.
Sir Earnest H Shackleton was born in 1874 and the Endurance sailed in 1914: he was 40 years old at the time of the sailing.
