A scale model of the Endurance, the legendary polar ship of Ernest Shackleton, was officially unveiled on Thursday at the Jetty Visitor Centre in Stanley, becoming a new long-term public exhibit, according to the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust (FMHT).

A model of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s famous polar vessel, crafted by a former rocket engineer in war-torn Ukraine, has set sail on the British Antarctic Survey's RRS Sir David Attenborough. The ship left Harwich for the Falkland Islands on Monday 13th October 2025.

The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust (FMHT) is proud to bring one of the most extraordinary deep-sea discoveries of our time to the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. As part of the prestigious Future Labs installation, FMHT will showcase the pioneering technology behind the historic mission that located Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary ship, Endurance, beneath Antarctica’s frozen Weddell Sea.
