Sometimes history speaks in rhyme.
On March 5, 1922, the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton was
buried in a hillside cemetery on the island of South Georgia,
in the frigid far southern reaches of the Atlantic.
Recently, a team of marine archaeologists announced that
it had located the long-sought wreck of his famous ship,
Endurance, a three-masted schooner barque that sank off
Antarctica more than a century ago.
The ship was found on March 5, 2022 — exactly 100 years
after Shackleton was laid to rest.
Four days after the discovery, the Falklands Maritime
Heritage Trust, which organized the arch for Endurance,
relead a video showing the ship at rest on the ocean floor,
nearly two miles below the surface of the Weddell Sea.
The images are mesmerizing.
A submersible camera circles the wreck, revealing
portholes and hatches, a splintered mast, splayed ropes, an
anchor chain and, on the deck, the ship’s wheel, which appears
almost totally intact.
Endurance has become part of the deep-a ecosystem,
encrusted with sponges, a stars and other organisms.
Nevertheless, the boat is remarkably well prerved — a
fact attributable, experts speculate, to the abnce from cold
Antarctic waters of wood-eating creatures like parasitic
worms.
The most striking shot in the video shows a ghostly white
anemone, suctioned to the ship’s transom, above still-glinting
lettering that spells the name “ENDURANCE.”
The ship’s story is one of the most illustrious in the
annals of exploration.
Late in 1914, Shackleton and a crew of 27 sailed south to
the Weddell Sea.
It was there, early in 1915, that Endurance became trapped
in pack ice.
The ship drifted amid the floes for more than 10 months
before the shifting ice began to crush its hull and the a
finally swallowed it.
Shackleton had intended to make the first land crossing of
the Antarctic continent;
instead, he gained renown for, yes, endurance, braving
months stranded on the ice, stormy open-boat voyages and treks
across glaciers to ensure that his marooned men would make it
home alive.
