I just came across this footage of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s stranded Endurance that was shot in 1915, before it sunk, showing the ship’s crew as they tried to free it from sea-ice with pickaxes, and then showing part of the ship collapsing. The film (above), restored by the British Film Institute and edited in the style of a silent movie, was one of the few items Shackleton insisted on saving, along with most of their food.
