This book is a page turner. While reading it I was freezing to death in mid May. I got the impression that the ship, smashed up, drifted north-west, past Svalbard, towards Greenland. It's pretty exciting that these artifacts were findable.
Wow, this happened this a few years before the epic story of the Endurance - yet a tragically different ending. Folks who find this story interesting would find it well worth their time to check out the story of Sir Earnest Shackleton and the Endurance. I have a DVD and book of their saga and it’s really inspiring.
