[@seanbohan9491]

Frank Hurley left scores of glass photograph plates onboard Endurance. These might be worth 'bending' the edict on leaving the ship in peace.

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

True but she's 3 km down under ice. At best you could send an ROV but grabbing fragile glass plates with a robot hand? Bit iffy. And you gotta get in there so likely you'd have to cut your way in unless all the doors and hatches are open which I presume was not the case with the temps. So I don't think it's feasible and if, I would raise all of it. And do the Mary Rose/Vasa treatment. But short of raising her intact I think it best to leave the wreck as it is being well preserved. If it was falling apart there would be a better argument to remove artifacts while possible. But we have centuries to decide. If the wood is in that condition after 100 years there's no reason it won't last for centuries. Vasa was in a low oxygen environment for 400 years and still strong enough to hold her own weight up and of course very well preserved. But only 50 m deep and right in the harbour so a bit more conveniently located. Her bronze cannons have even been fired.

In addition to the Endurance, in recent years both the Erebus and Terror from the Franklin Expedition were also found in the Arctic, in much the same state of preservation as the Endurance and arguably more mysterious, since no one knew anything for certain about what happened to the ships or crews of the Franklin expedition! 😊

[@rustyhowe3907]

@@heathergarnham9555 There have always been smart theories about what happened but official intervention stopped the horrific realities from ever being confirmed as fact in order to preserve the integrity of the crew, mostly the leader of the expedition and the fact he was given the honor of being the discoverer of the strait they were looking for due to him being a 'gentleman of standing' rather the real finder who was a hard survivalist of Scottish descent (look up Rae's strait in Canada, it's named after the Scotsman as Canada didn't agree with the established lie). There's even been evidence of cannibalism and mutiny I believe, the people died horribly.

8:30 "La llamas" are pronounced "la yamas" in spainish but I spelled it in English. "Las llamas" would mean "the names" which I think brings a level of beauty and poetry to the name of the location because all of those sacrificed had names...

[@ZAV1944]

SS Endurance is a quite beautiful ship really and she is probably one of the last ships to carry both steam and sail.

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

Hmmm difficult question. Fully square rigged and steam that may well be. Liners had dropped all sail by 1907 with Maury and Lucy, even earlier for White Star with the RMS Republic, before that while already mainly depending on steam there was still the option of hoisting sail. Endurance is also rare as being purpose built. Generally that wasn't the case. Neither HMS Beagle or any of the famous exploration vessels started out as that, so it was a specific design requirement. Of course steam has practically no endurance (sorry) compared to sail. As to beauty I agree. The pinnacle for me is an age of sail frigate. Currently building one (1/80 scale). I love the look of the early "auxiliary steamers" like the 1850s or so. Check out ships by the Collins Line such as the SS Arctic. I think those look really good. The lines of a steamer with a full set of sail. Dunno Endurance is kind of her own thing, can't really stuff it in a typical category. Closest would be whalers, kinda similar fully rigged, with a steam engine.

[@dominicbuckley8309]

RRS Discovery built in 1901 is very similar, having also been built for polar expeditions. She was in active service until 1931, before becoming a training ship on the Thames, and is now preserved in Dundee, where she was built.

[@ZAV1944]

@@user-lv7ph7hs7l HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were warships that were originally designed to carry a giant mortar for shore bombardment before being refitted for artic exploration. Though the Admiralty's choice to fit them with converted railway engines rather than a purpose built marine steam engine may not have been the best of ideas.

[@user-lv7ph7hs7l]

@@ZAV1944 That's what all exploration ships where. "HMS" is reserved for active warships only. HMS Beagle was a legit warship too. Endurance is a rare exception. That's why it was considered an honour that RMS Olympic was often referred to as HMS Olympic in the war. Kind of insinuating she's a ship of war. Well she was. No other liner ever sank a U-Boat.

[@miahconnell23]

Norwegian built ? Well, the Norwegians def know their nautical stuff.

[@conner13.c16]

You caught me off ward with the Chincha discovery. I am from Peru and here nobody heard anything from that. Local media didn’t cover it. I am glad I knew about it from you but also saddens me that my country cares so little about these topics.

[@nenasiek]

Bit late to comment but it might have something to do with the child sacrifice part, its still a very sensitive subject. I saw a doc about cannibalism in north america and the natives were upset about it even being brought up, they interviewed one of them for said doc and he refuse to even consider the possibility of cannibalism. Dont understand why, its not like theres anyone alive today that condones it, its just part of human history.

[@conner13.c16]

@@nenasiek I think they don’t accept it because they try to be seen as the good guys whilst the British are the bad guys. And cannibalism breaks their entire narrative.
