High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The "Endurance" was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. She was launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway and was crushed by ice, causing her to sink, three years later in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica. Designed by Ole Aanderud Larsen, the "Endurance" was built at the Framnaes shipyard in Sandefjord, Norway and launched on December 29, 1913. She was built under the supervision of master wood shipbuilder Christian Jacobsen, who was renowned for insisting that his employees be experienced seafarers as well as skilled shipwrights. Initially christened the "Polaris" (eponymous with Polaris, the North Star), "Endurance" was launched on December 29, 1913, 144 feet (43.9 m) long, with a 25 foot (7.6 m) member and weight of 350 tons (356 metric tons).
