Famous Antarctic Shipwreck Found 'Frozen in Time'

[@dstoney701]

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

[@danielslocum7169]

Nearly as bad as being a prisoner of the soviets in some Siberian gulag.

[@Ryanp1267]

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

[@rosiecromer]

Absolutely agree I am blown away by the human spirit of those men.

[@bbooher9663]

If this ISN'T a miracle, what is???

[@dennishassler605]

I love Shackleton's story - amazing story against impossible odds, but he comes through!!!!

[@aussiesam01]

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.

The dog however....

[@DMZub13]

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.

[@221b-l3t]

[@logansmith8318]

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?

[@earldelsanto]

It would crumble to pieces if it were pulled up from 1000 feet. I'm surprised the pressure didn't rip her to splinters. It may be the fact she is wooded and flexible to much higher degree than any iron or stell ship. When the Titanic went down that deep and many war ships that sunk in deep deep water . The sound of it were recorded would have been horribly load and able to be herd for many many many miles as water conducts sound better than air. Inf you were to record any of those ships going down you would hear metel being crushed . I'm sure their are sonar recordings of such tradjady. Especially during the wars

[@markmuldoon805]

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.

[@luminatrixfanfiction]

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.

[@0l0l00l0]

Whats the name​ of the ship?@@luminatrixfanfiction

[@SoupyMittens]

@@luminatrixfanfiction I mean water does cause rust but this ship is made of wood so it's mostly unfazed by rust.

[@luminatrixfanfiction]

@@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.

[@Victor-cg4qp]

Amazing book, by the way. The crew members of the Endurance were heroes. Good job founding this legend vessel.

[@nonow1353]

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.

[@joesephsmith7991]

Thank you for sharing this miracle find of a historic and epic true story with all of us folks.

[@noddygirl]

I absolutely love maritime history and archeology. So fascinating!

[@themadfarmer5207]

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...

I think it's a real shame you cannot recover this ship because of the Antarctic treaty.

[@roarinfireball]

I had to learn about this expedition in 3rd grade; I’m amazed that anybody back then survived this.

[@texasrockshillcountry6574]

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?

[@timonsolus]

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.

[@EarlTheWhiteNinja]

​@@timonsolus interesting. I didnt know that

[@Seltkirk-ABC]

​@@timonsolus Seems to any sane brain she wasn't designed very good.

[@timonsolus]

@@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.

Shackelton: 1915 ; 5 years to get out making several attempts to save his crew and saved everyone. 1912 Second officer Lightroller of Titanic managed to save lots of passengers without a life jacket or first a boat and still survived and saved people in the sea. Then at 66 years old one of the first to answer the call to cross the channel to save evacuees from Dunkirk under fire.Very brave men from a different time with others whose examples of spirited determination in leadership should never be forgotten

[@markplain2555]

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.

[@flightographist]

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.

[@Seltkirk-ABC]

And the Scandinavian maurauders arrived well before both of them.

[@kevinwolff]

[@SteveLomas-k6k]

Interesting perspective; this steel ice breaker weighs nearly 14,000 tons, 9000 KW of diesel power, and they have to monitor satellite images and modern weather forecasts to avoid getting stuck, as another research ship recently did. And this expedition was conducted right at minimum sea ice season- late feb- march. Shackleton managed to get within sight of land, on the 1st attempt, in mid January, in a relatively small wooden sailboat, with no communication or forecasting, nearly 100 years ago.. and once minimum sea ice arrived, they were able to get out in the lifeboats! I wouldn't worry too much about Antarctica melting..

[@prod3362]

@@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.

[@221b-l3t]

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..

[@221b-l3t]

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.

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.

[@darioinfini]

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?

[@Thatonedere]

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.

[@darioinfini]

@@Thatonedere So it only sank because of the cargo. If they had thrown all of the cargo overboard it would have floated?

Well, that's because the organisms that would otherwise devour wood don't exist in that part of the world. Also, it's far colder in the Weddell Sea than at the depth the Titanic is at, which I imagine acts as a preservative. Not to mention, iron rusts. Or at least, it's susceptible to microbes that eat away at the iron and cause it to oxidize.
