As a kid I read every book about Shakleton, his crew and the Endurance I was able to get my hands on. A very fascinating and inspiring story of success in failure. WOW
I saw a documentary and an exhibit about endurance and Shackleton and was astonished by Shackleton's amazing leadership. He brought every single man back from this harrowing journey. If you are not familiar with it, find anything you can about it. It's inspiring.
SO DID I LOL - he was my childhood hero - though I thought not giving the polar Medal to McNish was petty. without the carpenter, no one would have survived.

GREAT! GREAT! GREAT MOMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY! I'm Italian and I love all stories of these heroic men and their epic voyages and exploits! The unforgettable era of North pole and South pole explorations. Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton, Wilson, Nansen, Mawson, Crean, Worsley, Ponting, Hurley, Garrard and many others...this is a very special day for me! Thank you! It's unbelievable to see this incredible vessel today after 107 years! Thank you heroic men...we will never forget you! Your souls will never die! Sil71
After almost 2 years stranded in the Antarctic, not a single man was lost. It is an example of tremendous fortitude and heroism, where cooperation really paid off.
That is amazing, if my dad was still alive he would be amazed, he spent 3 straight years in Antarctica as a husky trainer, deep sea diver and surveyor at Scott base which was also designed by my godfathers father. I still have 30k + slides of my dad in Antarctica as he was also a photographer. Still have a photo above my mantle piece with him on the top of mount Erebus after the famous accident.
Having found and been involved with the finding of over 100 shipwrecks in my career (most of which were located while searching for other reasons), this one has always fascinated me. I honestly thought it was lost forever. Absolutely incredible job by the project team! One thing I learned in grad school from an old salty oceanographer professor who spend 40+ years of his career in the North Atlantic (Arctic): "Pick your research adventures by your travel brochures", followed by a pat on the back (The late Dr. Lloyd Burckle). Incredible work all!
@@richardfry19 You need a wide range of skills depending on what you want to do. First of all you need maritime experience, then you need either science or engineering background in a maritime capacity. And then you need to have contacts or the mettle to get into the industry.
I was absolutely amazed when I seen how well this thing has kept over these years. I honestly would have expected to be in far worse shape just from the ice alone. This is one of the most exciting _and_ uplifting things to happen in a long time.
Brilliant discovery! See also TH-cam channel Sea Ice Stories by a scientist involved in the search, Dan Snow's History Hit for more historical context, and Reach the World: all three channels have been filming from the search ship SA Agulhas II.

@@tvdinner325 thats a very ignorant opinion. We are only 1 extinction event away from ceasing to exist or atleast being knocked technologicly back to the dark ages. 1 big volcano, medium asteroid, gama ray burst or solar storm and us and every other creature on this planet exept for a few very small organisms will be extinct. That money is being spent in exactly the right place by people much smarter then you and i. And those were just natural things that happen no matter what, never mind the possibility of nuclear war, mass death from a plauge or chemical/biological weapons or the fact that as our sun nears the end of its life cycle it will grow larger untill the surface of earth will no longer support life.
I’m a Shackleton fanatic. This footage is amazing. As is the story of the whole expedition itself. One of the most amazing examples of courage and bravery in the face of overwhelming adversity ever. I literally got goosebumps from that footage…
Shackleton sailed with four others from Elephant lsland to South Georgia in a 20 foot open boat to get help. This voyage is generally accepted as one of the greatest small boat voyages of all time.
Oh my God! What incredible find! It is as if it sank yesterday. I so wish that my dear friend Dr. Sunshine was still alive to have seen this. He would have been thrilled. Four more months and he would have seen this historic find.
I'm so happy this happened during my lifetime. I've been into the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration over the last few years and to see the wreck at last after over a century underwater is incredible. Major props to the entire team for their hard work.
That is outstanding! The preservation of it is astounding, and I'm so glad that it's going to remain in place. At least no one died on it, so it's not a memorial like Titanic is. The film was so clear though - I'm trying to imagine the reaction on the ice breaker by the scientists, and undoubtedly the ship's crew who must have wanted to see it. Congratulations on your awesome find!
Unbelievable. She’s finally been found. The Shackleton expedition almost hasta be whispered when talking about it if one knows the story-deep reverence for the entire crew & their towering endeavor is all I could imagine anyone feeling whenever they first do. One of thee most harrowing, shocking, tragic, amazing, intense tales of exploration of all time. Hard to find one more outrageously packed full of action, adventure, horror, heroism, suffering, & triumph. And the Antarctic waters finally surrender the legendary Endurance. What a red letter day of massive historical consequence. Well done finding her, seamen and scientists. WELL Done. A slice of history that should be always remembered (so good thing it’s so unforgettable. If you’ve never heard of it-hold on to yer schnutz and dive in to any of the great books about it. And be ready to be blown away-glued to it straight through til it’s done).
I just finished reading Endurance by Alfred Lansing a few hours ago (highly suggested by the way) and this popped up on my news feed. What a nice little coincidence
Amazing shape in the cold water. Same with the 60 year older Franklin ships dives. things still in the cupboards , guns still on wall gun racks and furniture in place, doors still hung along the hallway . Look that dive tour up.
This is one of my favorite stories ever. In graduate school we read a book on leader ship, the kind of leadership that Ernest Shackleton demonstrated. Truly remarkable, and these explorers and scientists have just made dreams come true.
Incredible! The tale of the Endurance sinking and the crew surviving is one of most fascinating stories ever! I never even considered that there would even be a wreck to look for down there! THEY FOUND IT!!!! It also seems eery that Shackleton and his crew, they left Europe at the dawn of WWI ... and now it is found....
Also it is so amazing that worsleys dead reckoning navigation was only a couple miles away on same latitude having used that old watch and no sun or stars for months
It's such a recent shipwreck I can't see the point in going down there. It's so recent that there are actually lots of photographs of the ship and the contents. Seems like a vanity project to me. It's a bit like people saying will sponsor me to go on holiday cycling or skydiving and things like that.
Just finished Alfred Lansing's book. Truly a vestige of their struggle for survival. Fancinating to see the wreckage still preserved so well after all these years.
Shackleton had last had contact with the outside world just as the Germans entered France in August of 1914. Upon reaching South Georgia Island at the end of his epic journey, his first question was: "Tell me, when was the war over?" "The war is not over" came the reply. "Millions are being killed. Europe is mad. The world is mad!" I guess history really does rhyme huh.
Its amazing to me they found this. When I read a book on this, it was my understanding that while they were stuck in the ice, it was still moving and rotating as one giant sheet. I always thought they would never find it especial that there was no gps in those days. That trip they made in row boats to the island has to be the most incredible journey ever made by man.
Have you seen some of the shipwrecks that they've been able to find in anoxic seas around Europe? There's some fascinating stuff from the Black and Baltic seas. The Vasa comes to mind as an incredible story of an old preserved shipwreck.
Oh Super Good Job marine archaeology people!!! I think this is such great respect to the memories of those brave men, whos story should be told as a testament to the human spirit and whatever forces guide and protect that spirit.🌱🍀🌳 Rest in piece boys, rest in piece Mrs. Chippy.❤

How are you and your family doing hope you've all been vaccinated. With this medium, I pray we get along well at our convenience, as I don't want to be seen as a superstar but as a commoner in the society.
Fantastic! Go ahead and disturb the wreck. Get the ships bell and put it in a museum, to honor those brave souls who died on a voyage of discovery over 100 years ago. That is the way it is done.
While it is a shame that we just have to leave it, it also feels sort of fitting. Leaving it there to remain, until long after this generation is gone, as a monument to one of the greatest moments of human endurance and leadership outside of wartime.
I would take a beam. You could raise a shit ton of money with it, I'd buy a trinket that had a splinter from the Endurance. Leave the rest to Poseidon, sure, but you could pay for that entire expedition with well executed marketing. Tasteful of course...not tacky. :-)
Since no one died in the sinking of the endurance it’s just wood not a tomb. So by reason it is not a memorial. “If you try to save to much of the past you will have no future” unknown quote
Amazing that was only 107 years ago. Now there are tourist trips to the Antarctic, and a marathon. Why are we so impatient and let our reach exceed our grasp all the time. Patience is a trait we are unfamiliar with. I see people signing up for a one way Mars trip ... will we ever learn?
A ship that truly lived up to its name. She might be laying in the bottom of the sea, but still she endured.

they had huskies in Antarctica? I had no idea - that's awesome!

Or lose them, either.

It’s ere how well it’s preserved after 107 years under the ice.
The ship is as tough as the men who sailed it.
Damn, this falls under the category of "Can't get much cooler than this!"
Wow that is amazing.
Such an awe inspiring and errie sight.
Is there not an extractor for this beauty?
the ship now has more rights than some people in the world
Fascinating discovery
The most astonishing part of this story is that South Africa has an icebreaker.
not that difficult to make one.. all we need is a few jackhammers installed infront of the vessel Bulbous bow..
Since no one died in the sinking of the endurance it’s just wood not a tomb. So by reason it is not a memorial.
