About this episode
Often when I am reading books in the Mariner's library I am also hearing the story for the first time myself- this book however, is different.
Shackleton's escape from Antarctica is a story very well known to me and, to be blunt, has nourished my very soul in my darkest days at sea.
There is no greater tale of seamanship, ingenuity, tenacity & loyalty- there are no greater heroes.
This is that tale, told by a man who's skill upon the ocean is perhaps only matched by his skill with a pen; the Master of the 'Endurance', Captain Frank Worsley.
If you would like to listen to more about sailing, the sea and regular discussions about safety & seamanship; check out The Mariner Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.
