Ernest Shackleton’s Ship Endurance Found

Ғылым және технология

The wreckage of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance, which was crushed by Antarctic ice and sank some 10,000 feet (3,000 m) to the ocean floor more than a century ago, has been found using advanced underwater vehicles fitted with high-definition cameras and scanners.

    well i'm glad someone explained this video, as i found it a waste of my time (apart from last minute or so), i wanted to see all round the ship as much as was possible, she is as well preserved in these waters as could be from the time she was lost if ever she could be recovered, i'm all for it, she was and still is very important from any point of view, maritime, and so on, her history continues with bated breath, but alas i feel our technology to be able to recover something that large and to some extent fragile is still some way off - any one remember the Mary Rose extraction? - Endurance needs real kitten gloves, perhaps removal of all contents followed by a detailed survey, much 3D modelling as an aid, and then a very specialised device to cradle her, and hold her together, i might assume her ballast might need to be removed, and working in such marsh conditions will be a massive feet of engineering, not to mention Endurance but we have pulled aircraft from below glaciers and many other incredible feets, never say never they say, lets hope they don't pull her to pieces and ruin a fine wreck

    One can only imagine the excitement, astonishment, disbelief and incredulity if the Crew of Endurance were to see this polar research and expedition vessel in detail. Not only would the new technology amaze them, the quality of life aboard this vessel would utterly astound them! In just over a century, the changes in literally every aspect of life are barely comparable. To show the Endurance Crew a Garmin InReach Mini2 satellite messenger and explain that they could write messages to anyone, anywhere in the world at anytime and recieve them back almost immediately, get accurate weather updates or send an SOS message would be utterly incomprehensible to them! So much has changed, and done so to a remarkable degree that its hard to believe that just over a century separated these expeditions!

    Usually, when wooden boats, or any other wood structures are preserved in water like this they react very negatively to being removed from the environment they are preserved in. After being raised, and brought ashore, the wood will begin to dry, and as the wood dries it will immediately start to basically disintegrate. Most historically significant boats that have been raised from similar conditions have their own designated pools that they are kept submerged in for these reasons. Which can be a very costly endeavor.

    There could be issues with raising her regardless of the tech we now have. I can be dangerous to do large scale projects in artic conditions. If you can get around that and the costs it can create, you then have potential issues with preservation. The wood of the ship has been in underwater conditions for over a century, If that water evaporates too quickly ,the fibers will deteriorate and the wood will shrink and warp. If the right technique to treat the wood is not found ,She could wind up in similar conditions to other raised wrecks like the Vasa. With the vasa, Her wood was treated with a solution to replace the water, but the process didn't penetrate the core of the wood. The vasa is now structurally half as strong as she was and the woods center has now disintegrated. Not to mention preservation of multiple types of materials that make up the ship that decay with different conditions when compared to each other.
