Sea Adventure: Shackleton's boat voyage (colour litho)
8668772 Sea Adventure: Shackleton's boat voyage (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Shackleton's boat voyage. When Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic exploration ship Endurance foundered in 1915, her crew managed to reach Elephant Island, which was so seldom visited that they were little better off than on the ice. Leaving twenty-two of them in shelter, Shackleton and five others made a desperate attempt to get help from South Georgia. A terrible 800-mile boat journey was followed by a tramp across frozen mountains never before explored, but the whaling station was reached at last, and after three months unsuccessful effort, and being three times beaten back by the ice floes, the whole party was rescued.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures the harrowing sea adventure of Sir Ernest Shackleton's boat voyage during his Antarctic exploration. The image depicts the moment when Shackleton and five others set out on a desperate journey to seek help from South Georgia after their ship, Endurance, foundered in 1915.
Leaving behind twenty-two crew members on Elephant Island, Shackleton and his small group faced an 800-mile treacherous boat journey followed by a grueling tramp across frozen mountains. Despite facing unimaginable challenges and being three times beaten back by ice floes, they finally reached the whaling station at South Georgia after three months of relentless effort.
This historic event is beautifully illustrated in this print as part of a series of cigarette cards on Sea Adventure issued by Hignett Brothers in 1939. The vivid colours bring to life the courage and determination displayed by Shackleton and his companions as they fought against all odds to survive and ultimately be rescued.
The image serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience in the face of adversity, showcasing the indomitable spirit that drove these explorers to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Shackleton's remarkable expedition and continues to inspire awe and admiration for their incredible feat of survival against all odds.
