BBC: Endurance: Shackleton's lost ship is found in Antarctic, March 9, 2022
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60662541[The Endurance, the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found at the weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea. The ship was crushed by sea-ice and sank in 1915, forcing Shackleton and his men to make an astonishing escape on foot and in small boats.
Video of the remains show Endurance to be in remarkable condition. Even though it
has been sitting in 3km (10,000ft) of water for over a century, it looks just like it did on the November day it went down. Its timbers, although disrupted, are still very much
together, and the name - Endurance - is clearly visible on the stern.
"Without any exaggeration this is the finest wooden shipwreck I have ever seen - by far," said marine archaeologist Mensun Bound, who is on the discovery expedition and has now fulfilled a dream ambition in his near 50-year career.
"It is upright, well proud of the seabed, intact, and in a brilliant state of preservation," he told BBC News.]
There's much more text, photos, a map and access to videos at the link. Many years
ago as a teen I read about the Arctic and Antarctic explorers and found the story of
Shackleton to be the most interesting. I have edited the text to meet our
four-paragraph rule.

And with no crew aboard? 
I'm somewhat surprised that the vessel is in such good shape. When the she sank, it was shipping water, the seams were spread, the rigging and masts were mostly down. The crew endured freezing water to salvage what they could. Frank Hurley the photographer, dove in to save the glass plates.
What sank the Endurance was that while it was a very strong ship, it was wall sided. It did not rise when the ice squeezed it. The Norwegian ship Fram was round bottomed, it could rise. The Fram was used by Nansen, Sverdrup and Amundsen, it still exists.
The small vessel used by Shackleton was the James Caird which also exists. Six of the crew sailed about 800 miles in winter conditions to reach South Georgia Island. Shackleton, Frank Worsley the expert navigator and Tom Crean the second officer then crossed the island in 9,000 foot Alpine altitudes to reach a whaling station to secure rescue.
