I love non fiction stories and this one is probably the best of them all - PBS put out a great doc some time ago. THe photos alone are amazing...

The three most incredible tales of survival at sea IMO are (in no particular order):
Captain William Bligh and 18 others, cast adrift from the HMS Bounty seven weeks before, reach Timor in the East Indies after traveling nearly 4,000 miles in a 23-foot, open boat. Recounted in Men Against The Sea
Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance
Three downed U.S. Navy airmen in the Pacific Ocean during World War Two. The men, forced to ditch their plane after running out of fuel, were then confined to a 4 foot by 8 foot rubber raft for 34 days at sea, with no food or water (apart from what they could catch or trap), and no protection from the sun. Their raft is on exhibit at the US Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL. Recounted in The Raft

“ William Shackleton and the Endurance “
Are you being Ernest?
Their crossing of South Georgia Island alone was one of the greatest mountaineering feats ever, even if you subtract what those men had already been through.

Agreed... Some very experienced mountaineers/expedition hikers have looked at the route they took across South Georgia and what they were equipped with and said it was impossible, and that they must have made it up. When assured they didn't make it up, and that they really did, they were awed and flat out said that in great shape, with training, proper maps, and modern equipment - they wouldn't try it.

The will to survive was definitely in no short supply with those men.

Imagine if they could find Hurley's broken glass negatives.
