New Analysis Reveals Structural Deficiencies of Shackleton's Endurance

Recent analyses of Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, have uncovered several structural deficiencies that may have contributed to its sinking during the 1915 Antarctic expedition. These findings indicate that Shackleton was aware of the ship's shortcomings, raising questions about its design and the challenges faced by explorers of that era. Understanding these factors not only enriches the historical narrative but also informs current maritime practices.
