The Endurance, Shackleton's Expedition

[jbelwood]

I just started reading, for the third time, The Endurance, Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition, by Caroline

Alexander. Has anyone on this forum built a model of the Endurance? I don't intend on building a model of her but

would enjoy doing research on this historic vessel. Any historic information that you might suggest would be of help.

John, there's a discussion you might find interesting here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7723-shackletons-endurance/

 

There's also at least one full-length documentary on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyQRHHHXntc

Rob,

 

Thanks ever so much putting me onto the YouTube documentary. It follows the book that I am reading. 

Did not realize that their photographer, Frank Hurley filmed much of the journey. Also, the model shown

is spectacular. Would love to build one but would have to be from a kit that apparently doesn't exist.

Rob,

 

Just started looking around and caught this item.
