Have to wonder if a different hull shape would have helped?

Something that the ice would have pushed up without squeezing. That probably would have helped in the ice, but not in open water.

Maybe double or triple bracing in the hull?

Restored footage of Endurance getting crushed by ice. I can't imagine what -- HokieDan95 03/26/2022 10:36AM

This one had quite the success, but needed hearty sailors. -- Vtskier1 03/26/2022 3:40PM

Steel braces or maybe just a steel ship all together ** -- HokieDan95 03/26/2022 12:22PM

Did they have steel hulls when that ship was constructed? ** -- EDGEMAN 03/26/2022 12:25PM

The year of the expedition was 1915 so yes ** -- HokieDan95 03/26/2022 12:28PM

In that case it was crazy to sail there without a steel hulled ship... -- EDGEMAN 03/26/2022 12:36PM

Wow..never saw that.. guess they didn't survive, but how did the film? ** -- HOKIERIT 03/26/2022 12:19PM

DAMN..they survived.. I'm watching it now! ** -- HOKIERIT 03/26/2022 12:31PM

Every member of the Expedition survived -- HokieDan95 03/26/2022 12:37PM

Thanks I remember reading the book years ago thanks to Lounge suggestion ** -- psychobilly 03/26/2022 11:29AM

About 10 years ago the Nat Geo documentary hooked me ** -- HokieDan95 03/26/2022 11:42AM
