            In 1914 Sir Ernest Shackletons Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition headed for
the South Pole and disaster. SHACKLETONS CAPTAIN reveals the truth behind the
spectacular rescue and shows how one mans extra-ordinary skills and unsung heroism
made it possible: Frank Worsley, Captain of the expedition ship, Endurance.
Worsley was faced with seemingly insurmountable odds when the Endurance became
trapped in the pack ice off the coast of Antarctica. The ship was slowly crushed, forcing
Worsley and his crew to abandon ship. They spent the next ten months living on
the ice floe before rowing three life boats to a desolate rock called Elephant Island.
The men were facing slow starvation in the freezing cold and with no rescue in sight
Worsley, Shackleton and four crew were forced to risk everything by sailing one of the
tiny life boats eight hundred miles across the Southern Ocean to the small island of
South Georgia where they hoped to find help at a Norwegian whaling station. Twenty
eight lives were in the balance as master sailor Frank Worsley navigated in the worst
conditions imaginable; rogue waves, ice bergs and a hurricane in a journey modern
sailors consider to be one of the greatest sailing voyages of all time.
