"For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton." quote from Raymond Priestly.
Long been a hero of mine. His sheer determination to secure the rescue of rescue of the 22 members of his crew marooned on Elephant Island and that incredible feat of endurance of his and the other five men, setting out in the small boat to get to South Georgia and then three of them hiking across the to the whaling station … incredible determination against terrible odds and the harshest conditions imaginable but not a man lost. Mind blowing and truly inspirational.
Men Wanted for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success Ernest Shackleton
@meirionevans5137 Tom Crean never told his story. Never wrote a book. He might have been in best position to do so. He was on both Scotts expeditions and in Endurance with Shackleton. He was the second right hand man of Ernest Shackleton. Protestant Unionist terrorists once burglared his pub in Northern Ireland. They left premises tail between their legs, humbled, when they saw Tom Creans picture in Royal Navy uniform and his decorations. Crean was serving RN noncom during all those expeditions. There is 2 mountains named after him, one glacier, one lake, and brand new Irish Government research vessel.
This was reported a few months ago but great to see images for the first time. It's not a hoof but a shadow from the wreckage in the highlighted area on the right.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes would disagree that it was the end of the heroic age of polar exploration... he circumnavigated the world from POLE to POLE by surface means only (including a large part walking)
@iamdmc Fiennes is showman. Brave one, but still. Shackleton was in competition being first, not just gaming how hard you can make it. Fiennes has never denied it. He and his wife made living out of doing it hard way.
One of the greatest Irish Explorers. Who died young and has been dead for 102 years. Has his ship finally found after all this time. And it's one of the greatest discoveries in the History of the World.
Did you hear the newsreader calling him "Anglo-Irish" They just have to make that distinction!! Anglo-Irish is just Irish, should we say Norman-Irish, Celtic-Irish??
what strange cincidence: i just yesterday finished a book about his expidition to antartica and how he went out of his ay to save his shipwrecked men !!!! great story,vrery tue to history shackelton's stowaway.
We had a bookcase of Ladybird books about all manner of subjects in our classroom at junior school in 1974-75,including a series of them about the great explorers including Scott v Amundsen and Shackleton,also Hilary & Tensing among others,and that's where I first read about his adventures.
Not a fan of the luvvie Keneth Branagh, but that film is well worth a watch. TBH some great audio books about it anyway, they are much better than any film
Our daughters, and all of our children and their descendants need to be able to grow up in a country which is safe, homogeneous, and high-trust. A country in which we, the peoples of Britain, dictate our own affairs and our own destiny, rather than traitors and parasites who serve megalomaniacal foreign psychopaths who despise us. And above all, a country which simply feels like home. A country which is genuinely ours, as it ought to be.
Thumbs Down. “Homogenous”? Humans are NOT homogenous. Britains, themselves, by definition, are not ‘homogenous’. Please, pull your head out of your ass.
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron! Hes the bravest Pioneer ^_^ 😂😂🤣
Elephant in the room, why is an American explaining the life story of an Anglo-Irish man who was famous for several BRITISH expeditions to the Antarctic when his boat sank inn the Arctic over 20 years after he died? Very confusing?? 🤪😜🤪😜🇬🇧🌈🙏♥️
Gone but not forgotten, Ernest Shackleton top notch guy.
He was racist

Not sure his wife would agree. Great sailor though, a national hero.

A great man, a legendary explorer. Hark and cheers from the US
James Cameron hammering out a new script😅
I loved reading and learning about Shackleton's adventures.
I went to Dulwich College, as did Shackleton some years earlier, and his boat is preserved for all to see in the school grounds.
Wow! This takes me back to the days when the BBC would report on topics of interest without an overarching bias.
One of greatest explorers … never gave up … true leader !

Ernest Shackleton
Tbh I will take that over modern life any day, it builds character
And a taste for fatty whale meat, extraordinary times and extraordinary men.
Something like10000 applied.....
Spoken like someone who hasn't had to endure something like that :P
Shackleton just cannot die !!! Lol what a legend and what a man indeed.
A truly great man💪💯🇬🇧🥇
We don't make them like this anymore.🙏😥 Rest in Peace✌️
I met Tom Crean's grand daughter a few years back. She and her sons had an interesting expedition to S.Georgia.

He might have wrote it. Crean died unnecessary death. Burst appendix at only 60 years of age.
Imagine having a heart attack at 47 years young
My grandad had first one at 42. Other one keeled over at 52 walking the dog ☠️ yeah scary
What a great discovery!
This was reported a few months ago but great to see images for the first time. It's not a hoof but a shadow from the wreckage in the highlighted area on the right.
What a half-arsed effort by the supercilious BBC presenter on this significant discovery.
It's the news, not a documentary.

This is actually crazy. Must have been wild to set eyes on something so steeped in legend.
In what way was that picture confusing... was anyone really saying 'that can't be a boat, the picture is orange'??

My teacher read that to us in 5th grade back in the late 80's. Completely fascinating recounting of it. Loved it. Thanks Mr Jacobi from Manitowoc!

That looks great!

I thought Shackleton made comfy, original high seat chairs.
Surely they have made a movie about Shackleton?
Several documentaries
But then you would know that if you knew how to do the most basic internet search
They made a TV mini series called Shackleton starring Kenneth Branagh it was good.
did they find any good 100 year old whiskey or brandy yet? they always took quality booze with them
Wonderful news🙏x im do pleased x
What was Shackleton's nickname then? Was it "Jonah"?

Okay Grandpa, let’s get you to bed now.
Not quite the right video but quite right all the same. Not sure as to your meaning but Britons deserve safety, and I wish you well. From US
Yet the BBC STILL cannot find Brexit.
Eh? What does that even mean?
Holy ship!
Was his ship called the S.S Mutant Almost A Chicken Duck 😂
J J J Just let the man speak.
bbc has lot of time for treasure hunting
❤
😊
Get that Hat!
Shackleton was irish, not anglo-irish.
Wrong. Pls research
Yes he was. Born in Co.Kildare Ireland. Perhaps the Anglo is added as Britain ruled Ireland at the time of his birth.
Definitely Anglo Irish!
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron! Hes the bravest Pioneer ^_^ 😂😂🤣
The CBC News report on this is much better: ua-cam.com/video/NHxpaQyikRI/v-deo.htmlsi=TxYtRRIRYvuKAjO5
What next , Starmer has an opinion on something,
Is the presenter on some kind of drug?
Do they fancy looking for an aeroplane? MH370
I’m confused, they sailed around with his body onboard for over 20 years?!! Gross 😱🤣🇬🇧🌈🙏♥️
Shakelton died near the South Pole.
Please see a hairdresser
So the global warming is so bad they found the ship?
Wtf?
Is it deep enough that billionaires can "visit" it ?
It's a famous ship like the Titanic now. And there's got to be some presous cargo on it? And rare artifacts to.
What was the point of finding this ship?
And who funded it?
Pointless exercise in my opinion.
yeah exactly, he should have just stayed in bed for his entire life, what's the point of doing anything
What a jaded and cynical point of view. Have fun achieving nothing and living with no goals bigger than yourself.

His ship sank off the coast of Labrador, and the search was run by the Canadian Royal Geographic Society.
Grow up emoji boy.
