Frank Worsley was a New Zealand sailor who captained Endurance until it sank in the Weddell Sea. Later he was the skipper of the James Caird when it made its 850-mile marathon from Elephant Island to South Georgia, a feat of magnificent navigation. He also participated in Shackleton’s final Quest expedition in 1920-21.
