At the beginning of the last century, Sir Earnest Shackelton skippered a small, ship's launch in what may well have been the most remarkable small boat voyage in the history of sailing.

He started out on an expedition intended to reach the south pole.

Hi Steve, I caught that show in NY and it was first rate. The trip must surely have been a miracle of navigation and seamanship. It's a funny thing but that open boat of his is roughly the same size and shape of ours.

<font face='Comic Sans MS'><font size=2> The show is inspiring I hope many get to see it. Shackleton was a hero who got every one of his men back to safety unlike Robert Falcon Scott who managed to kill himself and his entire crew for his “principals”.
