Shakelton's wisdom in choosing to take along the carpenter due to his attitude, just shows the importance of choosing wise leaders with humility, perseverance, wisdom, discernment and forethought. He saved his men's lives because of it. Mental acuity and health is just as important as physical in a survival situation. Someone who is negative, fearful and discouraging is a complete cancer in such circumstances. One of my favorite stories! Thanks for sharing it!
This story of survival against all odds was fascinating. All 28 men survived due to extraordinary leadership, combined with expert planning, and incredible resourcefulness and critical thinking. If just one decision that they made that enabled them to survive once the Endurance first got stuck in the ice had "gone South" (pun intended), none of them would have survived. In this instance, "Against all odds" is not hyperbole. It exhausted me emotionally to listen to the story, trying to imagine myself being faced with such "life or death" challenges, and I just can't imagine that the outcome would be close to as successful as this one. Everyone survived, and nobody had to resort to eating their friends, they didn't encounter hostile humans or animals, there were no external threats or obstacles other than Mother Nature in the icy seas of Antarctica, and, most encouragingly amazing - they maintained their sense of humor until the bitter end at the Elephant Island rescue. Why has this not been made into a movie? It almost soundls like "The Remnant at the South Pole". Thanks for telling us this story. It was one of the best 35 minutes I have ever spent on You Tube. I am subscribing now.
The last member of the Shackleton expedition, a ship named Endurance, waited. Her men had won glory and legend... she waited. A hundred, hoary years passed until finally, she was found (2022). Upright and unbroken by the ages, she had outlived them all.
@@christopherwhittaker2620 Ok... literally broken by sea ice, but not further broken by "the ages" (surprisingly intact thanks to sterile antarctic waters)
Ernest Shakelton was actually Irish, as were most of Endurance"s crew. He was a proud Irish man, contradicting writers and news reporters when described as "British" he'd say "no, I'm Irish, I was born and raised in Ireland by generations of Irish, Ireland may be lorded over by the British but none the less it doesn't make me any less of an Irish man "
Hmm. That's interesting. I'm not disagreeing. I'm sure you know what you're talking about, and I know little of the man myself. But he must have had SOME English blood in his family, somewhere. After all, Shackleton is an English name. I come from an Irish/Welsh background myself, and can say with 100% certainty, it's not an Irish name. Maybe he was half English, or 1/4? Or maybe his family just adopted an English name. But even if he were full Irish, his name is full English. And he was mistaken about the term "British" from the sounds of it. British refers to anyone from the British Isles, including England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the hundreds of other little islands that make it up. He would've been able to take offense at being called "English", but if he said he wasn't British, he couldn't have been Irish, technically, either lol. Bottom line is, though, I'm grateful to you for correcting the video. All I knew about him was he was an explorer. Now I know he was also an Irish patriot! :D
@@KryoPhlux Yes, you would have to delve deep into Irish history to understand the patriotism of the Irish, Britain ruled Ireland with an iron fist and caused millions of deaths due to the forced famine. As for the name Shackleton sounding British, a lot of original Irish surnames were changed by British absentee landlords made easier to pronounce, for example a typical Irish surname "O'Halaghran" pronounced "Oh (son of) Haligran" became O'Halligan, O'Phealón pronounced "Oh Flayloin" became Whelan. Shackleton might have been an a landlords name which a lot of the small holdings farmers would have been named by the British as surnames because they couldn't pronounce their proper real surnames, very much like the slaves in southern America were named after their slave owners. And don't get me started on the Irish because the first indentured slaves abducted and sent to the Caribbean islands.
I am so happy I found this and excited to see more. I Love to watch the painting which was a fantastic surprise! That was an added bonus to see that.Thank you for all your work.

Totally correct, but it's one of those clubs that doesn't bother me bc 'intensive purposes' is pretty synonymous.. like instead of every intent and purpose it's saying 'by any meaningful/important intent or purpose..
@@hhunstad2011 Whaling station implies habitation, so my point stands. It wasn't uninhabited. Also, the children find them on the edge of "town" according to the story.
As a younger history fan ( about 50 some years ago ) I read the book " endurance " by Alfred Lansing, at least three times. At 68, it still leaves me awed to think of such feats, truly an amazing band of heroes.
THE most incredible sailing journey in a small vessel of all time. Shackleton made up his mind to sail from Elephant to S Georgia. An impossible trip, but he knew it was the only way. Even if only a 1% chance to make it. So he decided, and no one challenged him. It was life out death. The whalers with decades of experience in those seas said "What you did can not be done"
Amazing leadership and fortitude of the crew. Frank Hurley 's footage is incredible. Sad stories of the men on return to civilization. Rescue was on my birthday 30th August.
Shackleton and Crean are my twin spirit animals. I have their portraits hanging in my man cave and when the going gets tough, I look toward them and remind myself of the vast odds the human spirit can overcome. Rest their noble souls.
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation of the story. Especially liked the fact that you created artwork depicting the harrowing ordeal. Thank you for bringing quality information, creativity, and your own wonderful voices to the show! ❤
Just found this video- subscribed immediately! So much time and care went into the telling of this story; amazing! Loved everything about it-Visuals: stunning and visceral realtime painting, photos, film footage (where did you find it?), maps. Verbiage: great narrative, journal quotes, accounts of the times, etc. Am blown away by the quality of your work. Can’t wait to watch everything else you have created. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this riveting story. The way in which you told it made this video outstanding, and it's one of the best I've seen in a long while. You certainly have gained yourselves a new subscriber. Keep up the good work. Thank you again. ❤
This is one of my most favorite stories of all time. I'd never heard the additional information about them fighting in WW 1. Thank you for the wonderful context. These men are all legendary in my opinion
If you ever get the chance, watch Shackleton with Kenneth Branagh,definitely one of the best drama's I have ever seen, I ended up getting it on DVD! And as for Sir Ernest Shackleton, what an absolute hero,legend and leader, this guy doesn't get the acclaim he should get, great man. RIP Sir Ernest.
Very visually interesting and relaxing. Great video. I have heard this story many times but it has never been layed out so nicely before. Thanks! Subscribed.
Me too, WTF was that supposed to be a joke or did they really just google and took the first picture of Tom Crean they could find without researching it.
They took the 22 ft. James Caird from Elephant Island to South Georgia. The bilge was filled with rocks for ballast and that’s what they had to lie on. The boat was decked over so there was hardly any headroom.
Amazing the things humans are capable of surviving. The ones who survived the war right after that must have had the craziest stories to tell their grandkids.
Funny thing. Not only will absolutely no one human or group of humans EVER cross the entirety of Antarctica....The captains who attempted to Navigate 360 degrees around the continent All of them Every one of them documented failure. One captain Cook Stated he sailed 3 years over 60 thousand miles never once being able to turn or find a a way around. 3 years and 60 thousand miles equals 3 trips around the plain.
@@michaelallen3304because Antartica is not a continent but an ice wall that surrounds us 360 degrees.. Check out Admiral Byrd and then look up the Antartic treaty..
The Third Man Factor- great book. Shackleton and his men are the stars of that. I had a similar experience as a mountaineer in my youth- only in regard to having “a presence” in an emergency.
*@55 Folks* That has to be one of the best, perhaps _the_ best retellings of the story of Endurance. A more aptly named ship I am yet to hear. We grew up hearing stories of Shackleton and his men and it really does demonstrate that he was an exceptional leader. It's just a pity there aren't more people made of the stuff that gave him the skills to not only survive but to do every damned thing regardless, to get his men. Maybe it being from a different time is part of what made him so exceptional.
You all should check out the documentary where guys try to replicate the journey in the exact same type of boat. Enduring the same conditions using the same type of navigation equipment. They were trailed by modern boats in case of emergency. But it shows how they were constantly battling the elements.
What a cool video idea. I like the painting going on during the video. And the discussion aspect is an international change from other documentary channels.
I know shackelton probably felt disappointed he never crossed or hit the pole. But whatever he is way more heroic for this anyway. This story is far more historical and interesting than the Norwegians successful trek to the pole. What's crazy is this was the third time he had been on a failed antarctic expidetion and no one died all three times.
Damn, all of that unimaginable dread, stress, and the sheer inhumanity of surviving the Antarctic, just to get home in time for the War to End All Wars.
No radios. No GPS. No satellite phones or decent maps. No contact with anyone else on the planet. I'm old enough to have experienced that, for weeks and months at a time. In the arctic. In the mountains. But, nothing like these men. In a week or so I'll walk across a mountain range. Alone. No cell phone. Just to get that feeling again. I have a copy of "Shackleton's Boat Journey" on my shelf. I read it every year.
As a British person I feel I should have known about this truly incredible story. Yet I didn’t. Makes me feel a little embarrassed if I’m honest. I’ve heard the name Shackleton but never knew about this story. And I really enjoyed the conversation between you two guys and the painting is so so good. I’ve subscribed and look forward to checking out past and future videos.
Am a wordsmith I paint pictures with words , watching the first drops of black paint that went onto that canvas I knew a story was about 2 unfold not just on canvas................Watched 2 the end I could fall into that piece of art work, me ? ,can draw stick people and smiley faces that be about all good people , can put words 2gether though same as that artist melded colours and paint.
wow...this is great, I loved to watch. I know a lot about Shackleton adventure with his crew, but this documentary, alongside with this beautiful painting, it was emotional. Shackleton is my hero, and he was the head of the greatest adventure ever.
There is a replica of the wee boat - The James Caird, made for a movie which I believe was called, Shackleton's Captain - somewhere in the South Island of New Zealand. It was in a bookstore in Oamaru then Christchurch. Not sure where it is now. The James Caird isn't very big and certainly wasn't designed for those big seas. I understand there was some computer modelling as to the statistical chances of sucess of that journey a number of times and everytime it has failed. Surely their success was a testament to those hard, brave men. However, a special mention must surely go to Worsley for his extraordinary navigation and seamanship.
Is the voice over guy $75 per video? Because Im down as fuck to throw in to keep him in these. It adds so much to such an incredible narrative thats being conveyed as two dudes having a conversation about cool history shit. I absolutely love these videos and cant wait for whoever is next
If you want to go to Antarctica and you can work a trade jobs are available. Keep an eye out on indeed. PAE and Leidos have the contract. They are alway looking for firefighters, plumbers and electricians.
wow, man im more interested and in awe of the painting. very beautiful, is this the video creator painting or someone else id love to see more of their work
Just watched, tv, really enjoyed the story and watching the painter. I didn’t intend to watch but curiosity got the best of me so I wanted to leave a comment.

It's been made into a movie, at least once, around 2000 I think. Based on Caroline Alexander's book.
There's actually a doco on YT about this story that explains it way better. 1 of the captains was from my country New Zealand.
They actually did have dangerous animals to contend with, leopard seals.

Frank Worlsey is the hero of this whole story.

No. They are all heroes.
Worsley was a great navigation officer, now without Shackleton you wouldn't even know he has existed.
He was doing what he was trained to do. Was he brave and courageous definitely but he undoubtedly was doing his job and did his job well.
Ernest Shackleton was born in Kildare, Ireland, Tom Crean in Kerry, both of them are Irish.
So was he supported by England then?
Plus all of Ireland was British at that point.

There is a replica of the wee boat - The James Caird, made for a movie which I believe was called, Shackleton's Captain - somewhere in the South Island of New Zealand. It was in a bookstore in Oamaru then Christchurch. Not sure where it is now.
The James Caird isn't very big and certainly wasn't designed for those big seas. I understand there was some computer modelling as to the statistical chances of sucess of that journey a number of times and everytime it has failed.
Surely their success was a testament to those hard, brave men. However, a special mention must surely go to Worsley for his extraordinary navigation and seamanship.
Excellent telling of the shakelton expedition.
That was pretty cool. It was like story time and Bob Ross all rolled into one.
In all honesty, if those weren’t nearly insurmountable odds then idk what are, that’s wild thanks for sharing this story
I would have given up like day 3. Two years is unbelievable.
The resemblance of Shackleton and Admiral Richard Byrd in their uniforms is striking. Both were Antarctic explorers
heard this story many times before but ye told it well....
Superb! Chef's kiss!
I wish I could like and subscribe more than once lol
Well done gentlemen.
Is the voice over guy $75 per video? Because Im down as fuck to throw in to keep him in these. It adds so much to such an incredible narrative thats being conveyed as two dudes having a conversation about cool history shit. I absolutely love these videos and cant wait for whoever is next
Amazing!!. Inspirational,,,dudes were absolute units!.…
That was dope!! nice job men 🫡
Fantastic story. Well done
If you want to go to Antarctica and you can work a trade jobs are available. Keep an eye out on indeed. PAE and Leidos have the contract. They are alway looking for firefighters, plumbers and electricians.
Enjoyed the painting too
i’m usually good at picking up on these things but is the “all intensive purposes” thing a running gag?
I sure hope so 😆
@@Tzunamii777 it has to be. they go so far out of their way to show it in the captions too. lol.
Usually when people say it you can't quite tell which one they said, lol but that's the most deliberately delivered INTENTISVE IV ever heard..
wow, man im more interested and in awe of the painting. very beautiful, is this the video creator painting or someone else id love to see more of their work
Amazing narration good job 👍
Just watched, tv, really enjoyed the story and watching the painter. I didn’t intend to watch but curiosity got the best of me so I wanted to leave a comment. This entailed having to go back to the search function, found that subscribed and liked. Went to leave a comment and found in order to do that I had to go to the utube on my phone and again I searched and found you again. This is likely automatic for most, but I’m getting old so it was a lot for me.😂 Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks and good job! 😅😊
Awesome to hear - thanks for going to all that trouble!
The Yelco
Name of the Chilean ship
Maybe you could tell how Mr. Shackleton found the Aurora, put a tiny bit of humor to this amazing episode of survival 😊
Everyone is better off knowing about this
So, at 0:16 you say it's an uninhabited island, then almost immediately talk about children running into town. Not sure how that works!
Amazing video, earned a sub :)
