Spirit of Shackleton

The legacy that shapes our future.

Sir Ernest Shackleton’s extraordinary leadership, resilience and humanity continue to inspire generations. The Spirit of Shackleton programme brings his story to life through history, sailing, education and engagement, centred around our 70-foot purpose-built sailing vessel, which serves as a living platform for exploration, learning and youth development. Through real voyages and shared experiences at sea, Shackleton’s timeless values are transformed into practical lessons for today’s world.
