Endurance: Shackleton's lost ship is found in Antarctic
What was one of the world's greatest undiscovered shipwrecks is identified on the Antarctic seafloor.

It's an incredible story. First they got stranded in Antarctica. Then they got stranded on Elephant Island - after taking small, open boats across the southern ocean! Then they got stuck on the wrong side of South Georgia with a mountain range between them and safety... But they still made it home.
The Mary Rose sank in shallow waters. She was barely below the ocean surface.Great story. This is as big as the Mary Rose discovery. Now to bring it up.

Getting her up was a major undertaking.
The Endurance is more than 3000 meters (2 miles) down.
Enjoy the video images. There is no way to get her up in one piece.

And she should stay there.
Being a mariner I really like the idea of leaving maritime wrecks where they ended up.
