Ernest Shackleton sent a party to bring back the third lifeboat from the sunken polar ship Endurance in anticipation of crossing open water during the Antarctic summer thaw.
By this point, their teams of dogs were also reduced to two teams, with the others being shot to ensure more seal meat for expedition members. The teams had been living off of previously harvested seal.
I have to say, I really wonder about the value of these expeditions, compared to the suffering they endured.
The German zeppelin that disappeared on the air raid to Liverpool four days earlier was spotted by the British naval trawler King Stephen floating in the North Sea.
After briefly speaking with Zeppelin Captain Odo Löwe and the crew, the trawler left the German air crew to their fate.
Geez Louise.
