The wreck of Endurance, the ship crewed by Ernest Shackleton and Irish seamen including Kerry's Tom Crean and Cork man Timothy McCarthy, was thought lost forever when it became trapped in pack ice and later sank in November 1915. More than a century later, the crew of Endurance22 achieved what was widely regarded as impossible - a successful attempt to locate the shipwreck. 

A new Disney+ documentary, 'Endurance', out this month, details the hunt for the wreckage, and Seán is joined by the documentary’s Producer, Ruth Johnston, to discuss.
