The wreck itself is a designated monument under the international Antarctic Treaty and must not be disturbed in any way. No physical artefacts have therefore been brought to the surface.
Let her rest in glory.

Wow amazing photos. Not long ago I read the book Endurance, fantastic story and now to see they've found the wreck and so well preserved is a great ending to the story.

You think sitting on the bottom of the ocean is glorious?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
After carrying the Shackleton expedition and bravely fighting the polar ice? Yes, I think it's a fitting end. In the words of her captain, Frank Worsley:

Undoubtedly she is the finest little wooden vessel ever built

Good find. Shackleton did not lose a team mate through it all. Amazing leadership. Yes, read the book, Endurance. I have read it twice. Inspiring.

An amazing crew, Worsley wasn't the captain Shackleton was the captain Frank Worsley was the navigator and he pretty much saved everyone's lives with his amazing skill. Endurance was found within 4 miles of Worsleys estimate. He wrote a wonderful book, a small paperback but so beautifully written Shackleton's Boat Journey by Frank A. Worsley[^] Even the photographer is famous Frank Hurley, the man who defined early Antarctic exploration – Shackleton[^]

Very cool! I watched a documentary about Shackleton and this voyage a couple years ago (Amazon Prime, I think). Highly recommended.
I read this book (Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage[^]) a few years ago as a way to relax in the evenings. It is an amazing story of Shackleton & Company's experience. The boat initially got stuck in the ice & as the ice shifted it crushed the ship (it took a number of days for this to happen -- and the crew stayed on the ship as long as they could). The book is written really clearly & tells a very compelling story. Check it out if you get a chance. Have any of you read it?

I'll look for it. Thanks for the tip.
