NOTICE: [This was not built by me, I am just reposting the ship to keep it available to the public]
Link to the add on specifically made for the ship: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3642239663]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3642239663[/url]
The real ship was lost in the Weddell sea in 1915 after becoming trapped in the crushing ice of the arctic and was only found more recently in 2022, a century after Shackleton's death on south Georgia island.
The story of the ship, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and his crews extraordinary voyage and survival in the vast arctic from the ships last location to Elephant Island and then further to South Georgia needs no introduction. I was first introduced to the story 20 years earlier in elementary school with an illustrated account that was in one of our English books from back then. Later, i learned a little more through a book i had on maritime disasters titled "disasters at sea".
if you would like to learn more about the real ship and expedition, I highly recommend looking at the 2001 documentary titled: "The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition"
