SET SAIL FOR ADVENTURE
LEGO 10335 is an impressive 80cm long brick-built rendition of an iconic vessel. The model sports ten full-fabric sails, a red ensign flag, and authentic rigging. The deck has multiple levels, which are connected via a staircase. Several sections are removable, allowing access to the port and starboard cabins as well as the engine room.
The front of the ship includes a chained bower anchor and the ship’s wheel operates the rudder. There is a printed tile with The Endurance’s specs that is displayed in front of the vessel. The Endurance is equipped with four lifeboats, one of which Shackleton used to embark on his mission to get help.
LEGO GWP - SHACKLETON'S LIFEBOAT
This historical event is reflected in the Gift With Purchase, LEGO 40729 Shackleton’s Lifeboat. This GWP is certainly worth pursuing because it features two minifigures: Sir Ernest Shackleton and his photographer, Frank Hurley, while the main Endurance ship set does not include any.
Shackleton's Lifeboat comes with 232 pieces and includes many historically accurate accessories:
- Camera and tripod
- Sextant
- Stove
- Oars
- Sleigh
- Supply crate
- Two pickaxes
- Shovel
- Ice axe
The sleigh can be attached to the bottom of the lifeboat to convert it for ice travel. The top of the boat is also removable, allowing access to the interior. This GWP does a fantastic job of paying homage to a courageous and resilient explorer.
