re: Sir Ernest Shackleton with all due respect

Thanks, Phil, for sharing these with us.

Shackleton is one of my heroes, and I've been trying to get together enough material to make up a topical collection.

Happy belated birthday wishes!

Do you feel any older? I thought by now I would feel older, wiser, smarter, etc.....I don't.....Sigh!Batting Eyelashes

I do not feel any older yet..the mind is probably going ..I don't think Shackelton was any saint..but he said he would bring all his men back and he did !

re: Sir Ernest Shackleton with all due respect

In my opinion, the world's most fascinating story of, well, endurance: Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing, available in print and as a Kindle book.

Following a visit to the Falkland Islands this past year, I read Shackleton's first hand account of his historic and heroic journey entitled "South! The Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition". It is well worth the read. I think I paid 99c for a Nook Book version.

I can understand why he is one of your heroes, Marilyn.

re: Sir Ernest Shackleton with all due respect

The South Georgia Shackleton stamp shows a two masted schooner named "Quest" that was used on later expeditions after the ill-fated "Endurance" voyage shown on the cover of the book. Endurance was a three masted Barkentine. Both had steam engines to supplement wind power.

British adventurer and former army officer Henry Worsley died today attempting to complete Shackleton's trek. Sad story; he sounds like one tough hombre.
