The Incredible Objects That Saved Ernest Shackleton's Life • Team History Hit is currently following in the footsteps of Anglo-Irish explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, hoping to locate the shipwreck of the Endurance in the Weddell Sea. • In this video, Luke Tomes visits the National Maritime Museum to see a recently exhibited sledge recovered from Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition (1907-09). He also speaks to Senior Curator of Maritime Technologies, Jeremy Michell about some of the objects which saved the famous explorer's life. • Meanwhile, Dan Snow is at Dulwich College, which houses the James Caird, a lifeboat in which Shackleton, Frank Worsley and 4 other men undertook a 1,300 kilometre journey from Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands through the Southern Ocean to South Georgia as part of the rescue mission during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917. • Sign up to History Hit TV now and get 7 days free: http://access.historyhit.com/checkout • #historyhit #dansnow #shackleton • 00:00 Introduction • 01:00 National Maritime Museum • 01:41 Nimrod Expedition Sledge (1907) • 05:51 Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914) • 09:01 James Caird
