Worsley was the captain of the H.M.S. \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e, the ship used by the legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton in his 1914-16 expedition to the Antarctic. On its way to the Antarctic continent the \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e became trapped and then crushed by ice, and the ship's party of twenty-eight drifted on an ice floe for five months. Finally reaching an uninhabited island, Shackleton, Worsley, and four others sailed eight hundred miles in a small boat to the island of South Georgia, an astounding feat of navigation and courage. All hands survived this ill-fated expedition; as Worsley writes, \"By self-sacrifice and throwing his own life into the balance, [Shackleton] saved every one of his men . . . although at times it had looked unlikely that one could be saved.\" \"This remarkable book . . . shows [Shackleton] both luckless and lucky, and supremely cool and courageous throughout. Worsley writes without heroics . . . but makes us feel to the marrow the conditions that the party endured before all hands were rescued.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e \"Worsley's account of that journey is a breath-taking story of courage, skill and determination under the most appalling conditions.\"--Sir Edmund Hillary\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8.28 x 5.58 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 17, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178240622841,"sku":"9780393318647","price":25.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/d051WjlIcllFMG82M01uci9ZcGd1UT09_95fc6375-9ac8-4df2-b0d6-1a6e9c8eea90.webp?v=1767722788","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/shackletons-boat-journey-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
