From Baird Maritime:
This is a reprint prefaced with a new introduction, of a classic first published in 1940.
Written by the Captain of Shackleton's expedition ship 'Endurance' it was certainly sourced very close to the action. Worsley was, with Sir Ernest Shackleton, one of the six men who set off on the 800-mile small boat voyage through Antarctic waters that eventually led to the rescue of their 22 companions from bleak Elephant Island.
Coincidentally, with the name of his doomed ship, Worsley's account is one of the great classics of maritime endurance.
A fine introduction by Hugh Andrew and a selection of Frank Hurley's brilliant photographs enhance this edition.
