To complete this: Shackleton went to DULWICH college, and the school now houses the boat he crossed from the Antarctic continent -- Elephant Island to be precise -- to South Georgia whaling station, to ensure that he lost not a single man of his expedition, despite losing his ship the Endurance, in ice-bound seas. The boat is the James Caird.
