Often when I am reading books in the Mariner’s library I am also hearing the story for the first time myself-  this book however, is different. Shackleton’s escape from Antarctica is a story very well known to me and, to be blunt, has nourished my very soul in my  darkest days at sea. There is no greater tale of seamanship; of ingenuity, tenacity & loyalty; there are no greater heroes. This is that tale, told by a man who’s skill upon the ocean is perhaps only matched by his skill with a pen; the Master of the ’Endurance’, Captain Frank Worsley.
