The Story Behind the Ship
The original Endurance was built in Norway and embarked from London on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, from 1914 to 1917. This three-masted vessel sailed into one of the most challenging regions on Earth—the Antarctic—only to face harsh conditions that eventually led to its famous sinking. The story of the Endurance and Shackleton's heroic leadership during the expedition’s darkest days continues to inspire to this day.
