This page is a heartfelt tribute to the captain of the Endurance. Frank Worsley was a brilliant navigator, a gifted writer and a man of adventurous spirit. Through his wonderfully written books, beautiful drawings, Frank Hurley's photographs, and accounts of his antics and vibrant personality by other men of the Endurance and comrades in arms, he inspires us to adventure, humor, courage and determination. Thank you Wuzzles, wherever you are! Don't you think Robert Carlyle would do a great job playing Wuzzles in the movie? Yes, we think so, too. And hey, while we're creating our dream cast, can we please have Russell Crowe as Shackleton, Ed Harris as Frank Wild, and Gary Sinise as Alec Macklin? Sure, why not, right? NEW: Katherine has written a piece about discovering Worsley through his books that just says it all. Go, read! NEW: The A&E Miniseries Shackleton airs in the U.S. on April 7th (8:00 PM) and 8th (9:00 PM). Worth watching, even if the portrayal of Worsley isn't all it could have been. ;-) NEW: Nova Online's got a nice page called Shackleton's Expedition. Cool that they focused on each of the men a little bit, plus there's a good interview with Alexandra Shackleton. Minnesota Public Radio presents: Walking Out of History: The True Story of Shackleton's Endurance Expedition. Don't miss! A Frank Worsley Exhibit is now open at the Akaroa Museum in New Zealand. Also, George Butler's documentary The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition is now out in theaters. One of the absolute best sites for links, news and information of a Shackletonian nature is the James Caird Society. Check out the News page for updates on everything Shackleton. Books by Frank Worsley: Also don't miss: Want to chat with us about the extreme coolness of one Frank A. Worsley, expert ice-rammer and direct descendant of maori tribal warriors? E-mail us. |
