Endurance

Kit by Occre

Endurance was launched in 1912 as Polaris and became the ship of Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1914; she was trapped and crushed by ice in the Weddell Sea and sank in 1915, and her wreck was found in 2022.

Occre's 1:70 kit (ref. 12008) uses laser cut hardwood sheets of several species with photo etched brass, zamak castings and cotton sails.
