The intricate details of the sunken Endurance, the ship lost on Sir Ernest Shackleton's doomed 1914 Antarctic expedition, have been revealed through 3D scans and underwater photographs.
The images, taken by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust, provide a close-up look at the 144-foot-long (44 meters) ship that had been hidden under ice and the frigid waters of the Weddell Sea for over a century. Although the mast and some of the railings have decayed, sections of the upper deck look nearly pristine. In close-ups, plates and other dinnerware are scattered on the deck, and a single boot lies among the collapsed rigging. Through the detritus, some of the old linoleum floor still bears a star pattern.
