==========================================

 

In the Scott Polar Institute of Cambridge they have a replica of the famous boat James Caird, aptly named "Sir Ernest Shackleton". The James Caird was used by E. Shackleton, F. Worsley, T. Crean, H. McNish T. McCarthy and J. Vincent to make a nightmarish journey through the Antartic Ocean in search of help for their expedition, trapped in Elephant Island.
