James Caird Society
The James Caird Society was founded by Harding Dunnett in 1994. It is an international society devoted to the life and achievements of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew (President: the Hon. Alexandra Shackleton, the explorer's grandaughter) . The society aims to bring Shackleton enthusiasts world-wide together by means of regular meetings, lectures, its newsletter and website (with latest Shackleton news) and (from 2003) a specialist Journal focusing on Shackleton related subjects.
Harding Dunnett also published a book: "Shackleton's Boat," - see www.jamescairdsociety.com/Pubs1.

Kenneth Branagh in SHACKLETON - THE GREATEST SURVIVAL STORY OF ALL TIME!
Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh (Henry V) stars as heroic polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton in this extraordinary epic tale of survival.
This four-hour drama is based on Shackleton's abortive 1914 attempt to cross Antarctica, and his heroic efforts to save his ship and crew from the treacherous icy waters. As Sturridge will tell it, this is not just a story of men against the white ice and sea but of the background of the expedition and the incredible qualities that allowed Shackleton to lead his men through the most extreme conditions, and bring them back alive.

In addition to the movie on VHS and DVD, the SHACKLETON SHOP features a wide variety of other Shackleton items, including books, t-shirts and hats, Frank Hurley posters, maps of Antarctica and more! Special offers available.
