Irish businessman and mariner Enda O’Coineen is seeking international support for a project to build a replica of Ernest Shackleton’s ship.
The original, used by Sir Ernest Shackleton during his 1914-16 Antarctic expedition, sank after being crushed in pack ice in 1915. The wreck of the wooden ship, discovered 3,008m deep in the Weddell Sea on 5 March 2022, has been designated as a protected historic site and monument.
