Renowned Polar Explorer Ernest Shackleton's Ship, the Quest, Discovered Off Newfoundland and Labrador Coast

In a remarkable discovery, the renowned polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Quest, has been found off the coast of Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society announced that the vessel was discovered at a depth of 1,280 feet. The Quest carried Shackleton on his final journey before he died of a heart attack in 1922. After his death, the ship went through several owners and expeditions before ending as a sealer and sinking in the Labrador Sea in 1962. This discovery brings closure to an important chapter in polar exploration history.

The Quest is not the only vessel associated with Shackleton that has been found. In March 2022, search teams discovered the remains of the Endurance, which sank in November 1915. These discoveries provide valuable insights into Shackleton's life and expeditions, as well as offer a glimpse into the history of polar exploration.
