Nope.
This is as good as it gets.
Sitting for weeks on end in an upturned longboat, only getting out in the freezing cold to empty the piss pot or to hunt.

Helluva time.
Someone post the paper ad Shackleton put up to find crewmen for his voyage.

Also, imagine being a stowaway on the endurance and losing a leg for your trouble.

Would you have eaten the dogs?

i think so yes, one of the crew said he would rather shoot some of them than the dogs, so it must not have been a happy decision

The Wreck of the Essex is an interesting survival story, and it served as the basis for Moby Dick.

No.
Not that we know of.
It is subjectively the most incredible feat of human survival.
And the fact shackleton got them all out alive is unreal.

Even the individual parts of their journey back to civilization are remarkable feats of human survival in their own right.

The trip across the ice dragging the open boats. Incredible.

The voyage to elephant island. Incredible.

The voyage from elephant island to south Georgia. incredible.

The crossing of south georgia. Incredible.

The survival of the remaining men on elephant island. incredible.

The fact that it was all done in succession, after months trapped in the ice, is just unreal.

And they ate all the dogs which was a delicacy after weeks of fatty stinky seal meat.

Cannot believe that 6 of them struck-out for certain death in the little James Caird, navigating purely by the stars, and somehow made it, and made it back. There are a bunch of shitty things that separate us from the animals; cash, revenge, guile. But this, this is the best of humanity at work.

This, Frank Worsley did an amazing job navigationg with little to no sunlight, and the carpenter Harry McNish did a good job making the boat good for the voyage. Shame McNish didn't get the Polar Medal like the rest

This is Mcnishes grave in new zealand.
The statue is Mrs Chippy, the ships cat.
After they abondoned the endurance shackleton decided the cat would be shot. An act of mercy as much as anything. Though it was this that drove McNish to mutinous sentiment. He loved the cat.
He later redeemed himself but shackleton never forgave him for it.

Shackleton basically put them in that situation by sailing a ship that was not built for extreme polar environments, still incredible. and Amundsen won.
