Ice flow or design flaw?

That ship was the gateway drug to my third major hobby. Model Ship building. (which also includes spacecraft.)

When ever I ran out of stuff to search for I would visit the now defunct 'Titanic Research, and Modelers Association' TRMA. Endurance was one of the 'holy grails' of 'lost' ships. As were Franklin's ships what explored the northwest passage.

I would spend hours looking at Frank Hurley's photographs. The ship sinking was also filmed. Was a full laboratory ship, which along with the sister ship Aurora had darkrooms. This was also one of the first expeditions to create a 'documentary' film. Some claim they spent too much valuable 'cine' film on the dogs and penguins.

Lost much of the interest in it when it was found. Everyone makes models of it now.

In recent months I have been researching local ships. One which was abandoned on the local shoreline. Called the 'Forester.' Burned in 1975. But after much of it's fittings were stripped. Some which were used to decorate the Tonga Room Tiki bar in the city.

Another is the Saginaw, first ship constructed at Mare Island. Similar story to the Endurance. Wreaked on and atoll near Midway island 5 members of the crew took a gig 1000 miles back to Hawaii. Only one survived the beach landing, but the other 89 men were rescued, A few which rose to the rank of Rear Admiral.

I think my favorite wreak was the Andrea Doria. Gorgeous mid century modern design. I think the Stockholm was finally scrapped earlier in the year after no one could find a buyer. Was a bit before my time, but when little I thought that the most famous shipwreck in the world. (until the Titanic was located.) AD was a popular subject for TV documentaries and magazine articles.
