The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust is pleased to confirm that the Endurance22 Expedition has located the wreck which has not been seen since it was crushed by the ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915.

The wreck of Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance has been found off the coast of Antarctica, according to the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust.

The ship had not been seen since it was crushed by ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915, and last month the Endurance22 Expedition set off from Cape Town, South Africa, a month after the 100th anniversary of Ernest Shackleton's death on a mission to locate it.
