99 Years Ago Endurance Sank While driving home this evening, I was listening to Drivetime on RTE Radio 1. Myles Dungan does a slot on what happened on this day in history. Today he spoke about Ernest Shackleton’s expedition. As Tom Crean was one who accompanied him in the lifeboat from Elephant Island to the Stromness whaling station, it reminded me of the sculpture and plaques in Annascaul. As good reason as any for a blog entry. |
