HISTORY
The voyage of the James Caird was an open boat journey from
Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands to South Georgia
in the southern Atlantic Ocean, a distance of 800 nautical miles
(1,500 km; 920 mi). Undertaken by Sir Ernest Shackleton and five
companions, its objective was to obtain rescue for the main body
of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–17, trapped
on Elephant Island after the loss of its ship Endurance. History
has come to consider the James Caird's voyage as one of the
greatest small-boat journeys ever accomplished.
In October 1915 the Endurance had been crushed and sunk by
pack ice in the Weddell Sea, leaving Shackleton and the crew
stranded on an unreliable ice surface thousands of miles
from safety. During the following months the party drifted
northward until April 1916, when the floe on which they were
camped broke up. They then made their way in lifeboats to
the remote and inaccessible Elephant Island, where
Shackleton quickly decided that the most effective means of
obtaining relief for his beleaguered party would be to sail
one of the lifeboats to South Georgia.
Of the three lifeboats, the James Caird was deemed the
strongest and most likely to survive the journey. It had
been named by Shackleton after Sir James Key Caird, a Dundee
jute manufacturer and philanthropist, whose sponsorship had
helped finance Shackleton's expedition. Before its voyage
the boat was strengthened and adapted by ship's carpenter
Harry McNish, to withstand the mighty seas of the Southern
Ocean. It carried a six-man crew led by Shackleton, with the
Endurance's captain, Frank Worsley, responsible for
navigation.
After surviving a series of dangers, including a near
capsize, the boat reached South Georgia after a voyage
lasting 16 days. The crew overcame a final peril in securing
a safe landing on the exposed coast. Shackleton was
subsequently able to organise the relief of the Elephant
Island party, and to return his men home without loss of
life. After the end of the First World War the James Caird
was brought back from South Georgia to England, and is now
on permanent display at Shackleton's old school, Dulwich
College.
