Endurance22: Lessons from the project to discover Ernest Shackleton's lost ship
Manage episode 334295498 series 2713523
Project journal Editor Emma De Vita meets Nico Vincent, Subsea Project Manager for the Endurance22 expedition, which on 5 March found the wreck of Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, which sank off the coast of Antarctica 107 years ago. The wreckage was discovered at a depth of 3,008m, around four miles south of where it was reported to have been lost by Frank Worsley, Endurance’s captain, in 1915. Endurance22 set off from Cape Town a month earlier, with a team of 63 people aboard the South African ice-breaker Agulhas II. The expedition has reportedly cost around £7.6m.
Nico has spent 30 years recovering deep-sea wrecks and gives us his project management insights on what it takes to prepare for a project like this, how it feels to see such a piece of history – and the lessons he takes away from this successful project.
