Sir Ernest Shackleton HMS Endurance found at the bottom of Weddell Sea.

 

Endurece stranded in 1915.

Was at the Shackleton museum in Kildare just last month, embarrassed to say I never knew he was born in Ireland.

Are there any survivors?

Surprisingly yes, all crew survived. It sank because of ice slowly crushing it beyond seaworthiness.

 

(Also acknowledging the question may have been posed facetiously, in which case, ? )

Amazing.  Shackleton rescued the lot by sailing 750 miles in a 22-foot open boat from Elephant Island to South Georgia Island.
