Shackleton100
"Website to mark the centenary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's mission to the Antarctic, ultimately the mission was a failure but the incredible story of how Shackleton led the crew through survival in the most inhospitable place on Earth."

"It was in the James Caird, a 23 foot whaler, that he and five companions made the epic open boat voyage of 800 miles (1,300 km) from Elephant Island, 500 miles (800 km) south of Cape Horn, to South Georgia during the Antarctic winter of 1916. It is fitting that the James Caird now rests in the College as a permanent celebration of one our most illustrious alumni and of the values for which we stand."
