So you could say the tour of Dundee was a piece of cake😀
When we think about the Scott and Shackleton expeditions it boggles the mind how poorly they were dressed. Oilskin coats may keep the water out but they must have been in a freezing cold condition.
It's amazing how Shackleton managed to save everyone. Epic endurance.
I guess they had the state of the art then, but they were on a 3 year trip and had to take all they needed with some stops along the way. It's a pretty small ship to face the open ocean. Brave men.
The southern ocean is incredibly ferocious even for today's Antarctic ships. They certainly were brave to take on even the ocean let alone the Antarctic. Amazing people.
