Endurance (ship)

The Endurance was the human ship Ernest Shackleton used to go on his Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition to cross Antarctica. It was crewed by photographer James Francis Hurley, legendary explorer Frank Wild, physician Alexander Macklin, and biologist Dr Robert Clark, as well as James Wordie.

In 1915, it was trapped in the Antarctic ice. Eventually, after Shackleton helped the Tenth Doctor stop the Skith from destroying Earth, the Endurance was abandoned, and the crew headed 250 miles west on lifeboats for Paulet Island. Every member of the expedition survived. (COMIC: The First [+]Loading...["The First (comic story)"])

The Eleventh Doctor would visit the Endurance with Amy Pond and Rory Williams, during which the boundaries of time would become blurred, leading to several individuals, objects, and species appearing near the ship after becoming displaced from their time.
