Shackleton's Boat

The book Shackleton's Boat tells the amazing story of the James Caird, the 23 foot whaler in which Sir Ernest Shackleton made his epic voyage from Antarctica to South Georgia, in a desperate bid to save the lives of his entire crew.

This beautifully produced, fully illustrated book by Harding McGregor Dunnett, founder of the James Caird Society and a world authority on Shackleton, is the first and only book about the James Caird.

In the book, Harding Dunnett traces the entire history of the James Caird from its commissioning to its present resting place at Dulwich College.
