"...just when things looked their worst, they changed for the best; so thin is the line which divides success from failure." --Sir Ernest Shackleton (May 9, 1916) after sailing the James Caird, a 20 foot open lifeboat fashioned with a sail and canvas covering, for 16 days across 800 miles of the treacherous Antarctic Circumpolar Current from Elephant Island to South Georgia Island.  In a desperate attempt to secure rescue for the ill-fated Endurance expedition, with 22 men remaining shipwrecked on Elephant Island, 3 of the 6-man James Caird crew still had to cross on foot the uncharted South Georgia Island to reach a whaling station on its eastern shore.
