That wasn’t the first time Shackleton had a ship crushed or stuck in the ice...

In the Summer of 1903-04 Shackleton and Scott had a ship stuck in the ice at the Antartic for weeks...Shackleton got sick and was sent to NZ on the supply ship the Morning...

My grandfather was an able bodied seaman on the Morning at that time...
