Sir Ernest Shackleton & The Endurance

[jimrhodes]

Does anyone know where I can find out information about the crew members of the Endurance and what happened to them after their fantastic adventure?

I found a great deal of information by searching under each man's name, use any good search engine. Google or Yahoo should provide you with what you are after. As I recall Crean went home and ran a pub for a time and I want to say that it is still there. I know Hurley lived for many more years. He came home one day and complaining of being very tired he sat in his favorite chair and into the evening he passed. There is some informantion at the end of Caroline Alexander's book Endurance on the men as well. This book also has a great number of Hurley's photos in it. If you don't have this book be sure to get it. I have also found pictures of the area on Elephant and South Georgia where they landed and pictures of Shackleton's grave on South Georgia. Shackleton went much like Hurley. Upon his return to South Georgia, he went below on his boat and lay down to rest and had a heart attack and passed. You should be able to find these quite easily as I did, just search under the men's names and the island names.
