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!

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 !

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.

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.

i remember picking up the book Endurance at a yard sale in Florida and wondering in our comfortable world how these men were able to endure the hardships without any warmth or very little food .
