The James Caird, once a simple lifeboat, but used by five brave men to traverse 800 miles of the word's wildest ocean to find help for the rest of the stranded team from the Endeavor.

3-sextant-flash.jpg

This is the sextant that Shackleton's five man crew used on their voyage. Because of the typically horrible Sourth Atlantic/Antartic weather, they were only able to take four readings in the entire 800 mile journey, yet still landed on the small island they were targeting. It is renowned today as the greatest feat of small craft sailing in known history.
