DESiGN:    Shackleton’s 22 men were stranded on Elephant Island in the bitter cold not knowing whether  Shackleton had made it back to South Georgia Island or not. The chances looked slim in that open boat but he did make it back. Several rescue attempts were launched but finally one using the Chilean ship Yelcho reached them and the men must have been ” over the moon ” excited to see it steaming toward them that day.  If you look close you will see the smoke from the smokestacks.
