james caird (boat)

The James Caird is the 23 foot (aprox. 7m) whaler in which Sir Ernest Shackleton and five companions made the epic open boat voyage of 800 miles (1,300 km) from Elephant Island, 500 miles (800 km) south of Cape Horn, to South Georgia during the Antarctic winter of 1916. She is now preserved at Dulwich College, Shackleton's old school in south London, as a memorial to an illustrious son. The boat is named after Sir James Key Caird, a Dundee jute manufacturer and philanthropist, whose generous gift financed the Endurance expedition.
