Shipwreck of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance found off Antarctica

Scientists have found and filmed one of the most famous shipwrecks in history. Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, was discovered more than a century after it sank off the coast of Antarctica. CBS News' Tina Kraus has the story from London.

The story of Ernest Shackelton and his crew is truly an amazing story of bravery, survival and “Endurance” ...what an exciting find👍🏽

I read the full book on this. This is so amazing that they found this ship. It has really brought the whole story back for me. Absolute amazing find. I am so excited.

Now they just need to figure out how to raise the ship up and secure it in a museum, the crew survived so it wouldn't
be disturbing a grave site. I know this is not going to happen but it would be cool if they could do it.

And that tremendous progress we made in naval engineering in these last 100 years, as well. Bravo!

This is great, I’ve seen history channel shows about this boat.

It’s funny how at school we were reading about this and then our teacher went on Facebook and yelled that the endurance ship was found!

The history of Shackleton, Worsley and The Endurance is fascinating. True survival. I think I would have just gone down with the ship, these sailors were the very definition of Endurance. Respect!!!

I'm delighted. Congratulations to all those involved in this extraordinary finding. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

i am gonna ask it / can they raise it, it ( looks ) like it can take it but i am no maritime wreck expert --- do it need to come up ? a super nice find seen from those extremely fine pictures

[SeverSTL]

Made my day. Thanx. an incredible, inspiring story.

[stoneyll]

This is un-freakin believable~! How cool is that?

[Gojira_Sama]

Too bad nobody is left alive to see it, i bet it would have made them cry..

Just to note, he was born in Ireland in 1874. So he's Irish, not British

Why would anyone in 1915 go to Antarctica in a wooden ship ? I mean the Titanic sunk in 1912 and it was metal .

You know a hundred years ago is not really that long ago

I'm making a comment here for posterity. I've read the book by Alfred Lansing multiple times but it's time for a fresh read to look at the photos as well! Huzzah!

[freebigbird]

Find it a bit strange that they made movies and TV shows about this recently and then these discoveries start happening 🤔

[orient]

Shackleton was Irish. How on earth could CBS mess that up by calling him British. Jeez!
