#Shipwreck #Antarctica #Endurance
I think one of the most amazing things about this wreck is you can see the grain in the wood, impressive....most impressive.
water will be crystal clear out there helping the filming, but definitely its crazy.
I was looking at that.. absolutely marvelous.. especially being under water this long..
You’ll find that the ocean is full of surprises. ;)
Some will consider this ships state to be considered... unnatural
the quality of the footage has doubled since the last time I saw shipwreck videos online
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
Absolutely agree I am blown away by the human spirit of those men.
If this ISN'T a miracle, what is???
Was going to post tge same sentiments.
and most of the crew died in the mud and horror of ww1 didnt they?
I love Shackleton's story - amazing story against impossible odds, but he comes through!!!!
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
Nearly as bad as being a prisoner of the soviets in some Siberian gulag.
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.
Wild someone ever had the balls to roll thru the ice in a wooden ship
Kratos: boy
They did it all the time
Got some serious snowballs for doing that
"someone", you mean "some man". No women ever took these risks.
People weren't afraid then health safety and the bonkers rules stop so much pathetic I im a 60s child people had to be hardy not like now where people are mardy lol 😂
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.
Dont give coordinates people will plunder it like titanic
Yeah a lot of artic divers
Titanic was not plundered? 😂
Tee Hee. Yea those feral scuba divers. Ship is at the bottom of the most inhospitable sea on earth
Yea most people will just trot right up there..
@@fmcdomer it’s at a depth of 9,869 feet, or 3,000 metres. Only a submersible can reach that depth.
Right now this is the discovery of the century, and rightfully so. This discovery not only brings the story to life once again it also shows us something that we never knew. That the cold water can keep gold paint in place after over 100 years.
I'd argue finding Franklin's two ships and finally solving a bit of that mystery is the bigger discovery - but only just ;)
I really hope that someone doesn't plunder it. That would be heartbreaking, it's such a incredible find. Cheers
@@TheGodParticle I hope so too
Actually the discovery of the Lost Franklin ships are much more monumental of this century.
Franklins more profonde since it might solve the mystery of what happened to the lost expedition.
Shackleton brought every man from his crew home. That hopefully stays in the history books!!!
The dog however....
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.
@@DMZub13 Right cat. Though the sled dogs too but the cat was the one that upset people. And yeah a cat can survive on very few calories, the carpenter could have been asked if he was willing to sustain it with his own rations.
No doubt it will be removed from public schools because of excessive masculinity, white superiority and a total disregard for pregnant transgender sailors…
Except Mrs Chippy
Incredible to see a piece of history like that,
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.
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.
Whats the name of the ship?@@luminatrixfanfiction
@@luminatrixfanfiction I mean water does cause rust but this ship is made of wood so it's mostly unfazed by rust.
@@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.
Sure would of been nice to ACTUALLY SEE THE SHIP!
Yeah,didn't show much did they...
Seconded! They just kept looping the same, meager footage.
@@AllgoodthingsTv meager indeed!
I see the ship what are you talking about about?
The fact that from above you can see it down there weirds me out.
I absolutely love maritime history and archeology. So fascinating!
Amazing book, by the way. The crew members of the Endurance were heroes. Good job founding this legend vessel.
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...
What a beautiful piece of history!
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?
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
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.
Thank you for sharing this miracle find of a historic and epic true story with all of us folks.
Bless her heart...may she always rest, undisturbed.
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?
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.
@@timonsolus interesting. I didnt know that
@@timonsolus Seems to any sane brain she wasn't designed very good.
@@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.
Absolutely fascinated on shipwreck at the moment. Super amazing story 🙏
Not bad for being down there that long. It's amazing
I have been obsessed with every aspect of this voyage for my whole life. When I saw her nameplate on the transom, I was speechless. What a gift to have found this remarkable piece of history.
I can’t wait for the last ice age to finally be over
I think it's a real shame you cannot recover this ship because of the Antarctic treaty. I think it would be amazing if we were able to bring it up as it is and preserve it in a museum because although it's in some of the best conditions it can be in it's just going to fall apart one day and be gone
I had to learn about this expedition in 3rd grade; I’m amazed that anybody back then survived this.
We were at the Museum in 2000 …awesome discovery
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
1:20 “regularly plunged to -20 degrees centigrade” why did he state it like this? We used to get that for weeks on end here and i wouldn’t ever call it inhospitable; it must get much colder there
Endurance by name, Enduring by nature.
It's still 1915 down there, frozen in time.
Wow. It's almost as far down as Titanic
How that ship is preserved is Awesome !
Wish the Titanic was preserved like that :(
It's made from a wood
Wood doesn't rust
@@юля801wood rots though right? Especially over a century in salt water? I heard somewhere that the titanic isn’t rusting, but instead being eaten by micro bacteria as it’s so deep that the pressure doesn’t allow much oxygen down there for the metal to oxidize. Maybe it’s the same for this wood?
@@Xavieus Correct. It's also because the temperatures in this region are so cold that very few microbes and other critters exist to eat away at it. Aside from having limited disturbances being under an ice bed.
@@Xavieus yup
Was just thinking that too. It would have been incredible to see the titanic wreckage at this level of preservation. It looks like it practically just sunk.
I remember studying about this book in Primary School in Year 4 and this was one of my favourites.
Would Read it Again!
BEAUTIFUL>>>The star looks almost just polished
i need to know what type of finish they used on that ship. my homes deck needs a new coat.
This is amazing!
Fantastic video. Very informative ❤️
Don’t tell ocean gate about this
Ships like this one should be salvaged and prepared for a museum. To declare it as a "historical site" is only a symbolic act wihout any real effect. It will rot away sooner or later even it is so well preserved until today.
Shes in good shape, thats awesome.
I recently read the book on this subject. I don't think it's a coincidence this got reccomended to me.
3:04 just gonna lie like that lol
Awesome, now let's find the Naronic!
A short documentary on a boring research ship with 20 seconds of Endurance footage. 👏
It’s a “Beautiful wreckage”, but yet they don’t mention the beauty of the people who perished below who froze and drown to death 😅
@@allaboutjapan-q7jnobody died, Shackleton and Co abandoned ship LONG before she broke up and sank
Thanks youtube for actually suggesting really neat interesting stuff.bless the endurance and ice cubes and snow flakes and penguins
The cold water preserves it. Wow
The caulking lines are as fresh as if just finished. We know from those old photos it was crushed but if only is was recovered as a historic piece.
According to Shackleton the ship was crushed by the ice plate movements
Funny to find it.....intact after all these years.....those boys got bored and didn't want to wait out the thaw.....scuttled her
@@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. The ice had cracked the hull, and even though the hull is intact, the ship was sinking and Shackleton gave the order to abandon ship.
@@Sherwoody I can write a book that says I'm napoleon Bonapartes descendent.....doesn't make it true
@@prod3362 perhaps you should read the book, you may find it informative.
I think I also once read about a different shipwreck from e.g. 1870s in/near Hudson Bay in Canada.
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..
even the wood splinters where the mast broke are still intact as if it had just happened... crazy
"This is a continent in trouble" GARBAGE!
the title says shipwreck not the ship that looks at it, you have what 5 minutes of wreckage video?
This footage is amazing. So well preserved, technology has given a look at something incredible. Thank you for sharing 🌹⚓
No one died in that wreck. They were all rescued he was a great leader.
WHAT????
@@Xavieus yup
@@Xavieus he led the entire crew to rescue. History.
@@user-wg3wj6ur9z looked it up after commenting. That is an amazing story.
@@Xavieus Read the book "South" by Ernest Shackleton, it is incredible. BTW 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.
Endurance, living up to its name...
Shackleton's story (and the entire crew's story actually) is the stuff of legend and should be taught to generations to come of the strength of will and human spirit
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.
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.
And the Scandinavian maurauders arrived well before both of them.
I have traveled this great country for many years, for business and pleasure. I have visited many national monuments but my two favorites will always be;
To have walked the Freedom Trail...
"The shot heard around the world"
And to stand on the decks of "Old Ironsides"
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;"
What great discovery!
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..
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.
Fantastic!... Shackleton would love you for it... frozin in time literally! 👍
I love how Gandalf sorta pops back to scare Sam. Its very in character
How much have they taken off it so far. ?
Hope there is a way to raise and preserve this ship.
3:56 My white whale is finding a winning lottery ticket.
Where can i Find doco about this expeditie?
1:55 not sure I would trust that snap shackle like that!
amazing work!!
Imagine, a thousand years from now it will be exactly the same as it is now
After everything else has been taken to out left the ship like erebus but not exactly like erebus it has everything intact including the captain of the erebus.
What is the daybre field?
Its cool, i think the Vasa is the oldest ship recovered and in the most pristine condition, its from the early 1600's i think, it sailed off and fell over lol.
This is an AMAZING story and the audiobook is free on YT
Absolutely recommend
They really should bring this one up for preservation
I read that a lot of negatives were destroyed by Shackleton. I wonder if they are recoverable
3:00 how this guy ever made it into that field and is so clueless is ridiculous. Ice shrinks away during certain seasons yes. But comes back a different season and the ice is back.
He's a drama queen for sure!
The ice isn't melting away
When I download your video. No audio.
Its crazy to think all that wood still looks almost brand new vs the titanic just rusting to nothing.
No. What is scary is the fact they found a tug boat size wooden ship sank in one of the most brutal areas the biggest ships don’t dare go at times.
how long did it sink?
That’s a kooky score playing…
i heard they found the cups still had water in them when it was found.
Wow thing is in better condition than titanic
Can it be lifted?
This state of preservation is so incredible that I have to wonder how feasible a Vasa style recovery and preservation effort could be. Keeping in mind of course the immensely difficult environmental conditions surrounding the wreck of course.
Vasa was in shallow waters at the coast. This is in the Arctic in 3000 meters of water. The effort it took to raise Vasa is of nothing compared to Endurance.
Wow she still looks beautiful
The Full Word ENDURANCE is there! wow! Not a letter missing.
I can't wait to see what they find inside.
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.
Raise it and preserve it
Regularly being below minus 20C does not make somewhere "one of the most inhospitable places on earth"...-20 is normal in winter in Nordic countries, it's not even that cold. -30 and below is when it actually starts getting cold.
Dan Snow having no idea what he's talking about as usual.
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?
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.
@@Thatonedere So it only sank because of the cargo. If they had thrown all of the cargo overboard it would have floated?
@@darioinfini The Endurance sank from pressure from the surrounding ice. It crushed the stern and tore away the rudder post. In this case they were kinda screwed no matter what
Needs to be recovered and put on display.
Only the icy depths keep it together. Bringing it to the surface would cause it to fall apart. They learned this salvaging the Hunley.
They should bring her back up, I understand it's a protected site, but the world would benefit much more from here being up here than down there.
Really amazing find.
Very Impressive, but Not Enough photos
They MUST RECOVER these wrecks and take them home.
It's in crushed dude it can never be moved
Once it hits the surface, the wood would decompose real real quick.
They recovered the "Vasa" and "Mary Rose" and its taken decades and huge amounts of money to preserve them. And they were just off shore in much shallower water. Recovering "Endurance" would be incredibly expensive and difficult
On the surface, the pirates might wake up
