Detailed Product Description
Historical footage and modern re-creations, produced by the UK's James Caird Society. 31 minutes. Director: Harding McGregor Dunnett USA. 1999. 31 minutes. B&W and Color. THIS IS A VIDEO TAPE, NOT A DVD. April 1916. Twenty-eight men in desperate condition are stranded on a barren island. Even the whalers of the South Atlantic never venture this far. All are doomed unless their leader can perform another miracle.Fifteen months earlier, their ship, the Endurance, had been trapped in pack ice in the Antarctic's Weddell Sea. For ten months they had lived aboard ship, until the ice crushed and sank her. For five months the men had drifted on ice floes before making a perilous sea voyage north to land - the lifeless and uninhabited Elephant Island. Facing the most savage ocean on earth, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men had only one escape - an unthinkable and impossible journey of 800 miles in an open 23-foot-long boat, the James Caird. There was no chance of success, yet there was no choice. It became the most courageous and extraordinary achievement in exploration history. This is the story of that amazing voyage, produced by the James Caird Society and Shackleton's alma mater, Dulwich College, home of the James Caird. Extraordinary scholarship and insight, combined with original photographs from the expedition, make this a marvelous addition to Shackleton lore.
