Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance has finally been found and looks in incredible condition, probably due to the depth and teperature of the water.....

Ernest Shackleton's Ship Endurance Discovered Deep Beneath Antarctic Ice

Maybe I’m cynical but it was never ‘lost’ they knew where it was when it was crushed by the ice… and how come if it was crushed and sank does the report say it has been found intact?
The James Caird is sitting in the great hall at Dulwich College FYI

They new the approximate area but that's all. Sea ice isn't static. I think the term "intact" is relative. It's at a similar depth to the Titanic and we know how that's faired, the wood bits long gone and the metalwork almost gone so it must be the water temperature, well below freezing, that's preserved the Endurance.
