Lost 19th Century Whaling Fleet Found Off Alaska's Arctic Coast
- DrScump 11y ago"more than 1,200 whalers stranded until they were eventually rescued by other whaling ships in the area. No one died in the incident." That just amazes me, how diligently seamen sought to protect their own (and explorers) during that era, under the most extreme conditions. Ernest Shackleton's failed South Pole expedition is another example -- every single man returned alive.
