Mystery of Kildare man Ernest Shackleton's lost ship Endurance solved after 100 years as wreck found

The mystery of Kildare man sir Ernest Shackleton's lost ship Endurance has finally been solved after its wreckage was found.

The ship, which had not been seen since it was crushed by ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915, has been found off the coast of Antarctica after 107 years.

It comes after the Endurance22 Expedition set off from Cape Town, South Africa, last month on the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest's death on a mission to locate it.
