History’s Greatest Survival Story (Ernest Shackleton & The Endurance) with Nancy Koehn—Historian, Harvard Business School

  • Summary

  • The story of Ernest Shackleton, and the loss of his ship, The Endurance, is history’s greatest survival story. After nearly a year living on a ship stuck in Antarctic ice, the hull began to crack under the pressure. Shackleton ordered his men off the boat, making camp on the ice, as they watched the Endurance sink beneath the Weddell Sea… and that’s just the beginning of the story. From managing negativity, to navigating stormy seas in a lifeboat, to a never-give-up attitude, Erneset Shackleton led his crew through a grueling 2 year ordeal, until every single man was rescued. This is the incredible true story of one of history’s most aggressive men.
