discovery of the wreckage of Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance after being lost to sea ice more than 100 years ago, details have come to light about one teen stowaway who had a horrendous ordeal on the ship.The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust said earlier today (Wednesday, March 9), that the wreckage had been found off the coast of Antarctica, exactly a month after the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest's death.The ship had not been seen since it was crushed by ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915, and last month the Endurance22 Expedition set off from Cape Town, South Africa, on a mission to locate it.It has now been found at a depth of 3,008 metres and approximately four miles south of the position originally recorded by the ship's Captain Frank Worsley, the trust saidOne of the original crew members on the ship was Percy Blackborow.The Newport native joined the ship in 1914, and two weeks ago his living relatives planted a tree in his memory.Percy, or Perce for short, joined the Merchant Navy at 14, and had been involved in a shipwreck in Uruguay when he was 18.But that didn't deter him from wanting to join another ship.Alongside another friend, he went from Buenos Aries to Antarctic having heard about the Endurance.When they arrived onto the ship, having boarded unannounced, Shackleton joked that "on missions like this, when food is short, stowaways are the first to get eaten".
