Anniversary
Six brave men departed Elephant Island heading South Georgia in the small reinforced wooden lifeboat James Caird: Sir Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, Tom Crean, Henry Mc Nish, John Vincent and Tim Mc Carthy.
22 men, under the leadership of Frank Wild, remained on the island, hoping for their rescue.
After 15 days crossing the stormy Southern Ocean, Shackleton reached South Georgia and after crossing the glaciated mountain range of the island finally arrived at the whaling station in Stromness.
After four months, end of August, Shackleton finally managed to rescue all the remaining expedition members.
What an incredible story! Still fascinating.
We have been there - at Point Wild. Elephant Island - some weeks ago with our Sailing SOUTH expedition.
More about Shackletons story and our expedition you find on our expedition’s website. Link: have a look in Bio.
