I take my hat off to these men. I like to sail but I wouldnt chooose to be doing what they are up to. They could be at home watching youtube like all us commenting. But no that is a very big ocean and a very small boat. The dangers, efforts and hardship are all real. Well done!

[@dakanoa]

Respect guys. You honor the heros from the past with your Tour and you inspire others today. Greetings from Bavaria Germany

[@Plafoniere]

This underlines the inmense strenght of the man called Shackleton.

[@RadiUzunova]

Amazing crew, so brave to go this way. I love the story of Shachleton's Endurance. One of the greatest story for human spirit and professional.

[@danielkyalo4259]

This is what freedom feels like...no phones no internet just you and mother nature

[@StephenDawe-q7h]

Just a support crew of hundreds?

[@kylekimberlin1783]

Even if they do it they know that it can be done Shackleton did it in the unknown you just cannot beat that

[@ajp4860]

@Kyle Kimberlin Right. Clearly it can be done. It was done. That was not the purpose of this. The difference is that Shackleton and his crew had only very simple technologies. That’s all they had. Therefore, their situation was immensely more dire. It seems to me the purpose of this was to experience what they had experienced. Not to see if it could be done. Because, as you stated, it clearly can be done, it was done. By an extraordinary crew. Back in the day when they had no choice. They had no rescue crew following them around with cameras and stuff.

[@ajp4860]

This is truly extraordinary. I urge everyone to delve deeper into this remarkable story.

[@Doreana48501]

[@derekguidry9032]

old school guys were fighting for there life.different situation here

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

Yes but there is no way to really recreate that. I give these guys credit it must have been a miserable time.

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Yeah, and re-creatimg it is risking their lives too, granted technology and knowledge has improved, but fall in that water there one has 15 minutes until death, but sea conditions might make just finding the man overboard take 30 minutes if you find him, and ships hundreds of feet long gave been taken out by rogue waves down there that were much bigger and more seaworthy than their "chase boat" ....anybody sailing dowm there is sailing for their lives, and especially so in such a small boat knowing what we know now about the frequency of rogue waves and the hydrodynamics of small boats in seas like those.....Shackeltons crew though had already wasted away for a while and knew this was a do or die situation with the only help being on south georgia island, no chase boats or weather windows.....I think Shackeltons memory will last longer than any of the other polar explorers despite not accomplishing anything but the impossible, everybody came home alive

[@GregDeman]

One of the crew was Tom Crean who served under both Shackleton and Scott. I read a book about his exploits and it was just amazing what he went through on his several trips to Antarctica

[@brandonsuttan2938]

If you think about it..yes its obviously staged. Its a show..But they arnt in a studio using computers to make the environment around them. And of course they would help them if they got into trouble. They are literally trying to recreate it..so yeah it is "staged"

[@henryrobison5507]

There was no real risk here though

[@johnryan2193]

Not one Irishman aboard this re enactment .Eaten bread is soon forgotten .Good old English stealing the valor as usual !

[@MrFootballfu]

Yes but Shackleton himself was a Co kildare Irishman a quaker by religion. Co kerry Irishman Tom Crean sang tunes right through the whole experience and was a moral booster, Tim Mccarthy from co Cork was there as well I think, He joined the navy and died in the war afterwards. There was 3 Irishman on I think. The only thing that was missing on board was an Irish pub!

[@Samurai78420]

Oh like having Irishmen on the boat has some meaningful benefits to the success and/or failure of the trip. You should've signed up and went.

[@7071t6]

OMG to even attempt it is totally amazing, i think something is not right IMO, something is fishy when you think about it? The only real best survival story is surviving the andie the plane crash. :)

"One of the greatest feats of navigation in maritime history?" Maybe the coldest. Otherwise that is a bold statement considering Polynesians navigated thousands of miles across the Pacific, with pinpoint accuracy and without a compass, a sextant, a clock or a map.

If I was the doc I wouldn't have put up with that guys mouth. Fearmongering? "I'm a medical doctor who specializes in trauma to the body caused by exposure to cold weather. I'm giving you medical advice of the condition of your feet based on my professional observations of cold weather injuries and you're feet are in bad shape. If you're gonna be bull headed and you're hell bent on going, then go. But, if you lose your feet it's not going to be because I lied to you and told you everything is fine." And I'd have left it at that.

[@christinafidance340]

Oh wow... so I did a quick scroll and I didn’t come across any of the stupid repetitive comments like, “Who’s watching this while warm in their bed?” I hate those. However, I simply must ask, WHO ELSE IS WATCHING THIS WHILE ON A BOAT??? 🤣I am! AND I’m also comfy in my bed to boot!!!

[@richardconnelly7141]

obviously we cant duplicate the conditions of that original journey

[@jupitorious7925]

Now due to global warming if Shackleton had to do it he would have arrived sun burnt and weeks of calm weather down wind sailing, playing dominoes and catching up with sleep

[@MrFootballfu]

It was a brave enactment. But The most dangerous bits, the launch from elephant Island they never attempted at all. The coming ashore in S. Georgia had to be stopped because they would have killed themselves. But they definitely suffered and were in extreme danger.

[@MrFootballfu]

@@jupitorious7925 ha ha exaggeration but funny

[@Brittany25-j6f]

Wow, I know they really wanted to do the journey, but it was unfair of them to get mad at the doctor for telling them they had trench foot. That's his job! And then they had temper tantrums when they were told the weather might be bad!

[@richard3693]

Where's episode 3. ?????....

[@jurgenheimbockel1307]

In 2000 Arved Fuchs from germany made the same yourney in the same manner .

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Just the uncertainty that weather brought prior to satilitte observations and computer modeling makes their journey nothing like the original. One could argue that Shackelton and company had no choice, it was do it or waste away to death. But, once the boat is under way in that area the re-creators are in just as much peril if weather thrashes them suddenly, you think that chase boat will get to them in time in weather bad enough to cause catostrophic failure...maybe, just maybe they would get to them before hypothermia claimed them in 15 minutes....its still a sailboat and has very limited mobility during weather and under sail, and even if powered on by its inboard the sails would need to be brought down/furled in some scenarios...those boats are not at all designed to be lifeboats and are made for long straight lines of travel with tradewinds.. thats if they manage to stay conscious and their head above water. People drown when their boats get swamped in 80° water, let alone 29- 33° water with waves up to 27m documented somewhere in southern waters nearly everyday..confirmed via satalitte over the past 30 years...there are some major odds against surviving voyages in undersized vessels so far removed from civilization....But I have to admit I hope constantly that before I retire I will be able to accumulate enough wealth to upgrade my sailboat to one able to sail to Antarctica during the optimal time of year, which suprisingly one could actually get there in a 24' boat if properly equipped and constructed as evident by this voyage... There are a few models of sailboats that would be tough enough to get there and much better suited than the lifeboat they converted for this journey...but small boats in big waters there will always be a significant reliance on luck and the skills of those controling it.... I think only a few men per thousand nowdays would have the detetmination to actually umdertake a journey like this to save their lives, opting instead to just sit and wait for rescue..Shackelton had some big ole balls, but more importantly he followed through with his commitment to the safety of his crew by any and all means and proved that he would have given his life for them..but then again, men like him were just as rare back then as they are today, thats why we remember him.

From my research. Shackleton was from county kildare Ireland. Tom Crean was from co kerry Ireland. Tim McCarthy was from Co Cork Ireland So it's brave Englishmen recreating what was mostly irishmen's voyage? Also there was no timber deck on the original James caird it was virtually an open boat except for a canvas Cover. Such sparsely scripted reenactments are highly dangerous tomfoolery.
