Endurance
“Endurance” used six plates printed onto navigational charts. These charts were used in navigation of the Ocean Giant, a heavy lift ship that makes a yearly voyage to McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
The Endurance was the ship that Ernest Shackleton set sail f0r Antarctica in January of 1914. The ship became ice bound in 1915 and sank in November of that year. Ernest Shackleton survived nearly insurmountable odds and managed to save his entire crew. He’s cited as one of the most admirable maritime leaders, though he died broke at the age of 47. In 1959, Alfred Lansing’s Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage was published, memorializing the voyage of the Endurance, and standing out as an enduring work of literature.
