THE ENDURANCE...

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Nautica unfurled its Black Sail 2013 collection inspired by the nautical expeditions of the legendary Antarctic explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922), the Anglo-Irish polar explorer and one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antartic Exploration like when, after the race to the South Pole ended, in December 1911 with Roald Amundsen's conquest, Shackleton turned his attention to what he said was the one remaining great object of Antarctic journeyin, the crossing of the continent from sea to sea, via the pole. To this end he made preparations for what became the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–17. Disaster struck this expedition when its ship, Endurance, became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed before the shore parties could be landed. There followed a sequence of exploits, and an ultimate escape with no loss of life, that would eventually assure Shackleton's heroic status, although this was not immediately evident.
