The notorious ship, which was drowned in Antarctica in 1915, was not built well for a polar journey as he previously thought – and its owner was likely to be aware of the shortcomings.
Explorer Ernest Schecklton Bring sailing to Antarctica In 1914 as part of a failed British trip to cross the continent on foot. The ship is besieged in the ice in the Weddell Sea, where it remained for 10 months before it drowned, it is assumed that the rudder was torn by the ice. But there is more for the story, according to a new study.
After joining I endure 22The campaign determined Wreckage From the endurance in March 2022, Tuhkuri analyzed the ship’s structure and studied how he could have responded to the moving snow that would have pressed and tense the ship’s body. He also reviewed the magazines of many members of the endurance crew, along with some Shatkalton’s messages to his wife and his colleagues.
In the new study, it was published on Monday (6 October) in the magazine PolarityTuhkuri has identified some structural issues that may have played a role in endurance. The ship had a relatively large engine room, which was difficult to enhance, and thus weakened a large part of the structure. Unlike many other polar ships at the time, endurance did not have installed Qatari symptoms to support and enhance their body.
The crew magazines also suggested that losing the ship was not sinking. Perhaps it played a role, but the ship also suffered from severe damage to its symptoms in Stengost, Keel, Hull and Deck while besieging the ice.
“Even a simple structural analysis shows that the ship was not designed for the pressure of the pressure that it sank in the end,” Tuhakouri said. “The risk of moving ice and compressive loads – and how a ship designed for such circumstances – was a good concept before the ship sails south. So we really have to wonder why Shalkson chose a bowl that has not been strengthened for compression snow.”
Based on records by the campaign, as shown in the study, it is likely that the Shalaklton decision was not taken in ignorance. The Chalklton message he sent to his wife in 1914 expressed her regret that the endurance was not as strong as the other ships that sailed it in previous campaigns. In 1911, he recommended adding Qatari stents to a polar ship called Deutschland, which continued to survive in the same ice conditions that disrupt the endurance. It is not clear why this Qatari support itself was not added to endurance before it sailed.
Currently, the reasons behind the Shatkalton decision to sail to endure in the ice pack in Antarctica are still a mystery.
“We can predict financial pressure or time restrictions, but the fact is that we may never know why the options have taken the options.” “At least now we have more tangible results for stories.
