The schooner Wyoming being launched from Percy and Small shipyard 12/15/1909. Notable for being considered one of the largest wooden ships ever built

Sorry, had to post these. Unbelievable stuff.
The HMS Endurance trapped in the antarctic ice, prior to Ernest Shackleton's mind- blowing dash to save his crew in 1916


The James Caird reached South Georgia in early May after sailing 800 miles. With two crew Shackleton walked 32 miles across South Georgia to a whaling boat station.


1915 - The ship 'Endurance' frozen in by ice during the 1914 - 1916 expedition to the Antarctic led by Shackleton. Crew members desperately tried to clear the ice with pick axes but the ship eventually froze in and was broken up. Pictured in front of the ship are the sled dogs outside their iced kennels

As I recall, they eventually were forced to eat the dogs.
