The story of the Endurance Expedition is one of the greatest survival tales of all time. If I ever make it back to England I want to visit Dulwich College and see the James Caird. Have you read the book, "Endurance" by Lansing? It is definitely a book worth owning, especially the edition with Hurley's photos. I read it every few years when I need to be reminded what courage looks like.

Yup. Thats a great book. I should read it again...

@connorlindeman
If you buy that ship, start a journal in the non-fish hobbies area. I’d like to see it as the build progresses.

WIll do.

Which model do you have of that one?

Mine is the DeAgostini 1/48 scale Admiralty model . It’s a cutaway version showing the insides and main deck . I have the rib framing done and the hawse pieces ( the bow ) . I have to fair the ribs to prepare for planking and then the detail work starts . I’ve only progressed this far since getting the model four years ago . You need a lot of time where people leave you alone and don’t interrupt you . It’s very detailed work that takes concentration .
