(, Beardmore's help took the form of guaranteeing a loan at Clydesdale Bank, for £7,000 (2008 equivalent approx. "Chiefly alcohol, Boss," replied Macklin. The expedition's other main accomplishments included the first ascent of Mount Erebus, and the discovery of the approximate location of the South Magnetic Pole, reached on 16 January 1909, by Edgeworth David, Douglas Mawson, and Alistair Mackay. The fate of Scott's expedition was not then known. Died: 5-Jan - 1922. He returned to the ‘Quest’ that evening in good cheer.

Location of death: Off the coast of South Georgia Island. They later learned that the same hurricane had sunk a 500-ton steamer bound for South Georgia from Buenos Aires. An extended search for an anchorage at King Edward VII Land proved equally fruitless, so Shackleton was forced to break his undertaking to Scott and set sail for McMurdo Sound, a decision which, according to second officer Arthur Harbord, was "dictated by common sense" in view of the difficulties of ice pressure, coal shortage and the lack of any nearer known base. Literature, too, consisted in the dissection, the parsing, the analysing of certain passages from our great poets and prose-writers ... teachers should be very careful not to spoil [their pupils'] taste for poetry for all time by making it a task and an imposition. Shackleton's mind turned to a project that had been announced, and then abandoned, by the Scottish explorer William Speirs Bruce, for a continental crossing, from a landing in the Weddell Sea, via the South Pole to McMurdo Sound. He wrote the following words in his diary, that were to be his last: At last, after sixteen days of turmoil and anxiety, on a peaceful sunshiny day, we came to anchor in Grytviken. It is hard to imagine Shackleton’s response was in anything other than a light-hearted jest: ‘You are always wanting me to give up something. Sir Ernest Shackleton visited old friends at the whaling station and organised preparations for the expedition. How familiar the coast seemed as we passed down: we saw with full interest the places we struggled over after the boat journey. [137] A statue of Shackleton designed by Charles Sargeant Jagger was unveiled at the Royal Geographical Society's Kensington headquarters in 1932,[138] but public memorials to Shackleton were relatively few. [107] The Yelcho took the crew first to Punta Arenas and after some days to Valparaiso in Chile where crowds warmly welcomed them back to civilisation. [11], In 1898, Shackleton joined Union-Castle Line, the regular mail and passenger carrier between Southampton and Cape Town. After a few days, with the position at 69° 5' S, 51° 30' W, Shackleton gave the order to abandon ship, saying, "She's going down! [126], Macklin, who conducted the postmortem, concluded that the cause of death was atheroma of the coronary arteries exacerbated by "overstrain during a period of debility". There is a legend that says Shackleton's newspaper article was written a certain way so that he could better narrow down and select candidates for his expedition. Wild went ashore and visited Jacobsen, the manager of the whaling station at Grytviken. He wrote that it was a ‘It was a staggering blow’. In a Christie's auction in London in 2011, a biscuit that Shackleton gave "a starving fellow traveller" on the 1907–1909 Nimrod expedition sold for £1250. [136], During the ensuing decades Shackleton's status as a polar hero was generally outshone by that of Captain Scott, whose polar party had by 1925 been commemorated on more than 30 monuments in Britain alone, including stained glass windows, statues, busts and memorial tablets. [66] The heroism was also claimed by Ireland: the Dublin Evening Telegraph's headline read "South Pole Almost Reached By An Irishman",[66] while the Dublin Express spoke of the "qualities that were his heritage as an Irishman".[66]. [144], The Centre for Leadership Studies at the University of Exeter offers a course on Shackleton, who also features in the management education programmes of several American universities. [49] Nimrod arrived at McMurdo Sound on 29 January, but was stopped by ice 16 miles (26 km) north of Discovery's old base at Hut Point. 100 YEARS AGO TODAY: The Relief of the Ross Sea Party, Copyright © Irish Maritime Exhibitions | Website maintained by, 15 JULY, 1911, WINTER PARTY REACHED CAPE CROZIER.

[119], Shackleton returned to the lecture circuit and published his own account of the Endurance expedition, South, in December 1919. [152] In October 2015, Shackleton's decorations and medals were auctioned; the sale raised £585,000. [68] He had been in discussions with Douglas Mawson about a scientific expedition to the Antarctic coast between Cape Adare and Gaussberg, and had written to the RGS about this in February 1910. Nevertheless, in February 1907, Shackleton presented to the Royal Geographical Society his plans for an Antarctic expedition, the details of which, under the name British Antarctic Expedition, were published in the Royal Geographical Society's newsletter, Geographical Journal. After landing, Shackleton took part in an experimental balloon flight on 4 February. [13] On 17 February 1901, his appointment as third officer to the expedition's ship Discovery was confirmed; on 4 June he was commissioned into the Royal Navy, with the rank of sub-lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserve. [140], Within a few years, he was thoroughly overtaken in public esteem by Shackleton, whose popularity surged while that of his erstwhile rival declined. [123] On 16 September 1921, Shackleton recorded a farewell address on a sound-on-film system created by Harry Grindell Matthews, who claimed it was the first "talking picture" ever made. Dying heavily in debt, Shackleton's small estate consisted of personal effects to the value of £556 2s. Shackleton and Scott stayed on friendly terms, at least until the publication of Scott's account of the southern journey in The Voyage of the Discovery. Other crew included James, Hussey, Greenstreet, a carpenter Harry McNish, and a biologist named Clark. [27] A record Farthest South latitude of 82° 17' was reached, beating the previous record established in 1900 by Carsten Borchgrevink. [9], Shackleton's restlessness at school was such that he was allowed to leave at 16 and go to sea. [10] His father was able to secure him a berth with the North Western Shipping Company, aboard the square-rigged sailing ship Hoghton Tower. Proposing a toast to the explorer at a lunch given in Shackleton's honour by the Royal Societies Club, Lord Halsbury, a former Lord Chancellor, said: "When one remembers what he had gone through, one does not believe in the supposed degeneration of the British race. Shackleton's first experience of the polar regions was as third officer on Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition of 1901–1904, from which he was sent home early on health grounds, after he and his companions Scott and Edward Adrian Wilson set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82°S. [117] Shackleton returned to England in early March 1919, full of plans for the economic development of Northern Russia. Alexander Macklin was one of two surgeons and also in charge of keeping the 70 dogs healthy. Lansing is best known for his book Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, the account of the failed Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew to the South Pole in 1914. It was led by Robert Falcon Scott, a Royal Navy torpedo lieutenant lately promoted commander,[16] and had objectives that included scientific and geographical discovery. The party was forced to ride out the storm offshore, in constant danger of being dashed against the rocks. Frank Wild then engaged in the necessary tasks brought up by the death of the Boss. [54] Their return journey to McMurdo Sound was a race against starvation, on half-rations for much of the way. (equivalent to £30,590 in 2019[132]) which he bequeathed to his wife. [23], According to steward Clarence Hare, he was "the most popular of the officers among the crew, being a good mixer",[24] though claims that this represented an unofficial rival leadership to Scott's are unsupported. All his life had been a rattling rush of swift succeeding action, like a chain cable racing through the hawse-pipe into an unfathomed sea, causing the world to vibrate as it ran out its full length of forty-seven shackles when the last link slipped over, and there was silence. During the Nimrod expedition of 1907–1909, he and three companions established a new record Farthest South latitude at 88°S, only 97 geographical miles (112 statute miles or 180 kilometres) from the South Pole, the largest advance to the pole in exploration history. Shackleton suffered frostbitten fingers as a result. On 9 January 1909, Shackleton and three companions—Wild, Eric Marshall and Jameson Adams—reached a new Farthest South latitude of 88° 23' S, a point only 112 miles (180 km) from the Pole. He had tonics of iron and strychnine and tonics of iron and arsenic; the wrong doses of either would cause a lingering death.' The attitudes of his men were a point of emphasis in leading his men back to safety. [49], It was noted that ice conditions were unstable, precluding the establishment of a safe base there. [59], On Shackleton's return home, public honours were quickly forthcoming. Mrs Chippy was shot when the Endurance sank, due to the belief that he would not have survived the ordeal that followed. At 8am that morning, Wild gathered all hands together to tell them the news. Led by explorer and environmental scientist Tim Jarvis, the team was assembled at the request of Alexandra Shackleton, Sir Ernest's granddaughter, who felt the trip would honour her grandfather's legacy. He left on the eve of … A few moments later, at 2:50 a.m. on 5 January 1922, Shackleton suffered a fatal heart attack. [123] When the party arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Shackleton suffered a suspected heart attack. Nevertheless, Dr Macklin was certain that the cause of death was ‘angina pectoris’ due to ‘pretty extensive atheroma of the coronary arteries’, 10 and this seems likely to be correct, since Shackleton was a heavy cigarette smoker for most of his life, and the symptoms sound ischaemic. According to Macklin's own account, Macklin told him he had been overdoing things and should try to "lead a more regular life", to which Shackleton answered: "You are always wanting me to give up things, what is it I ought to give up?" Suffering from a heart condition, made worse by the fatigue of his arduous journeys, and too old to be conscripted, he nevertheless volunteered for the army. Also, members of his team climbed Mount Erebus, the most active Antarctic volcano. Emily Shackleton later recorded: "The only comment he made to me about not reaching the Pole was 'a live donkey is better than a dead lion, isn't it?' He still harboured thoughts of returning south, even though in September 1910, having recently moved with his family to Sheringham in Norfolk, he wrote to Emily: "I am never again going South and I have thought it all out and my place is at home now". [25][26], The party set out on 2 November 1902. Macklin himself reported that Shackleton greeting him thus: Hullo, Mack, boy, is that you? There was a (male) cat named Mrs Chippy that belonged to the carpenter Harry McNish. [57], In 1910, Shackleton made a series of three recordings describing the expedition using an Edison phonograph. On the return journey, Shackleton had by his own admission "broken down" and could no longer carry out his share of the work.[30]. [95] This was the first time they had stood on solid ground for 497 days. [86], On 24 February, realising that she would be trapped until the following spring, Shackleton ordered the abandonment of ship's routine and her conversion to a winter station. This party would then lay supply depots across the Great Ice Barrier as far as the Beardmore Glacier; these depots would hold the food and fuel that would enable Shackleton's party to complete their journey of 1,800 miles (2,900 km) across the continent. [143] Other management writers soon followed this lead, using Shackleton as an exemplar for bringing order from chaos. He thought seriously of going to the Beaufort Sea area of the Arctic, a largely unexplored region, and raised some interest in this idea from the Canadian government. Abraham Shackleton, an English Quaker, moved to Ireland in 1726 and started a school at Ballitore, County Kildare. [145] Shackleton has also been cited as a model leader by the US Navy, and in a textbook on Congressional leadership, Peter L Steinke calls Shackleton the archetype of the "nonanxious leader" whose "calm, reflective demeanor becomes the antibiotic warning of the toxicity of reactive behaviour". Scottish jute magnate Sir James Caird gave £24,000, Midlands industrialist Frank Dudley Docker gave £10,000, and tobacco heiress Janet Stancomb-Wills gave an undisclosed but reportedly "generous" sum. [89] On 21 November 1915, the wreck finally slipped beneath the surface. [a][28] The journey was marred by the poor performance of the dogs, whose food had become tainted, and who rapidly fell sick. [56] Shackleton returned to the United Kingdom as a hero, and soon afterwards published his expedition account, Heart of the Antarctic. [146], Shackleton's death marked the end of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, a period of discovery characterised by journeys of geographical and scientific exploration in a largely unknown continent without any of the benefits of modern travel methods or radio communication. Tom Crean was in more immediate charge as head dog-handler. [81] He ultimately selected a crew of 56, twenty-eight on each ship. He had taken aspirin but said that it was ‘no good’ and asked Macklin: ‘will you get me something which will act?’ Macklin attended to Shackleton’s need for some further blankets.

[71], None of these enterprises prospered, and his main source of income was his earnings from lecture tours. [121] The goals of the venture were imprecise, but a circumnavigation of the Antarctic continent and investigation of some "lost" sub-Antarctic islands, such as Tuanaki, were mentioned as objectives.[123]. I thought it was.’ He continued: ’I can’t sleep to-night, can you get me a sleeping draught? "; and men, provisions and equipment were transferred to camps on the ice. [96] Shackleton's concern for his men was such that he gave his mittens to photographer Frank Hurley, who had lost his during the boat journey. Ernest Henry Shackleton was born at Kilkea House, County Kildare, on February 15, 1874. Ernest Shackleton And The Epic Voyage Of The Endurance 1694 Words | 7 Pages. On hearing a whistle from Shackleton’s cabin, he went to investigate. Meanwhile, a second ship, the Aurora, would take a supporting party under Captain Aeneas Mackintosh to McMurdo Sound on the opposite side of the continent. [145] In 2001, the Athy Heritage Centre-Museum, Athy, County Kildare, Ireland, established the Ernest Shackleton Autumn School, which is held annually, to honour the memory of Ernest Shackleton. [60], Besides the official honours, Shackleton's Antarctic feats were greeted in Britain with great enthusiasm. On 8 May, thanks to Worsley's navigational skills, the cliffs of South Georgia came into sight, but hurricane-force winds prevented the possibility of landing. As the ship moved southward navigating in ice, first year ice was encountered, which slowed progress. [91] After failed attempts to march across the ice to this island, Shackleton decided to set up another more permanent camp (Patience Camp) on another floe, and trust to the drift of the ice to take them towards a safe landing. This group, despite many hardships, had carried out its depot-laying mission to the full, but three lives had been lost, including that of its commander, Aeneas Mackintosh.[108]. [159][160] In 2017, the musical play Ernest Shackleton Loves Me by Val Vigoda and Joe DiPietro made its debut in New York City at the Tony Kiser Theater, an Off-Broadway venue.

Shackleton delayed his own departure until 27 September, meeting the ship in Buenos Aires.[83]. [58] Several mostly intact cases of whisky and brandy left behind in 1909 were recovered in 2010, for analysis by a distilling company. Nevertheless, Dr Macklin was certain that the cause of death was ‘angina pectoris’ due to ‘pretty extensive atheroma of the coronary arteries’, 10 and this seems likely to be correct, since Shackleton was a heavy cigarette smoker for most of his life, and the symptoms sound ischaemic. [115], For his "valuable services rendered in connection with Military Operations in North Russia" Shackleton was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1919 King's Birthday Honours,[116] and was also mentioned in despatches by General Ironside. [35] As the first significant person to return from the Antarctic, he found that he was in demand; in particular, the Admiralty wished to consult him about its further proposals for the rescue of Discovery. The manager, ‘an old friend of ours’ as Wild wrote, had been with Shackleton the previous afternoon and was shocked by the news. London, 1923. To this end, he made preparations for what became the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–1917. [88], Until this point, Shackleton had hoped that the ship, when released from the ice, could work her way back towards Vahsel Bay.

[d] En route the South Pole party discovered the Beardmore Glacier—named after Shackleton's patron[53]—and became the first persons to see and travel on the South Polar Plateau. [118] He was finally discharged from the army in October 1919, retaining his rank of major. [67] The reality was that the expedition had left Shackleton deeply in debt, unable to meet the financial guarantees he had given to backers. [5], In 1880, when Ernest was six, Henry Shackleton gave up his life as a landowner to study medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, moving his family to the city. He assisted Wild in the jobs that needed to be done. The ship, after a drift of many months, had returned to New Zealand. It is likely that many debts were not pressed and were written off.

[102], On the following day, they were able, finally, to land on the unoccupied southern shore. In charge of holds, stores and provisions [...] He also arranges the entertainments. [104], The next successful crossing of South Georgia was in October 1955, by the British explorer Duncan Carse, who travelled much of the same route as Shackleton's party. After a medical examination (which proved inconclusive),[32] Scott decided to send Shackleton home on the relief ship Morning, which had arrived in McMurdo Sound in January 1903. His father, Henry Shackleton, tried to enter the army, but his poor health prevented him from doing so. [f][73] The transcontinental journey, in Shackleton's words, was the "one great object of Antarctic journeyings" remaining, now open to him. [97], Elephant Island was an inhospitable place, far from any shipping routes; rescue by means of chance discovery was very unlikely. Wild. [17], Although Discovery was not a Royal Navy unit, Scott required the crew, officers and scientific staff to submit to the conditions of the Naval Discipline Act, and the ship and expedition were run on Royal Navy lines. Of later independent fame was the photographer Frank Hurley, known on this mission for his perilous shots. The third option was chosen. [44] Before leaving England, he had been pressured to give an undertaking to Scott that he would not base himself in the McMurdo area, which Scott was claiming as his own field of work. Ward-room caterer. Now we must speed all we can, but the prospect is not too bright, for labour is scarce. Psychoactive drugs were also on hand, Francis writes. Thus physicist Reginald James was asked if he could sing;[79] others were accepted on sight because Shackleton liked the look of them, or after the briefest of interrogations. [82], Despite the outbreak of the First World War on 3 August 1914, Endurance was directed by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, to "proceed",[g] and left British waters on 8 August. [92] By 17 March, their ice camp was within 60 miles (97 km) of Paulet Island;[93] however, separated by impassable ice, they were unable to reach it.

Former army officer, 55, dies of organ failure after being airlifted from ice 71 days into attempt to cross continent unaided. Bruce, who had failed to acquire financial backing, was happy that Shackleton should adopt his plans,[73] which were similar to those being followed by the German explorer Wilhelm Filchner. This allowed for Shackleton to remain in control of the morale of his crew members. His father was a doctor. In January 2013, a joint British-Australian team set out to duplicate Shackleton's 1916 trip across the Southern Ocean. McIlroy was head of the scientific staff, which included Wordie. Shackleton was ready to depart to Antarctica however; just when he was at South Georgia, local seamen warned him that he … [50] After considerable weather delays, Shackleton's base was eventually established at Cape Royds, about 24 miles (39 km) north of Hut Point. [147], In 1993 Trevor Potts re-enacted the Boat Journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia in honour of Sir Ernest Shackleton, totally unsupported, in a replica of the James Caird.
