Design

Much to the chagrin of some fans, the ship is micro scale and does not include a single minifigure.

Well, at least it has material sails

It’s very much a display model akin to 10294 LEGO® Titanic than a classic LEGO set, complete with a brick-built wooden stand for shelf display.

The inclusion of material sails, rigging, ratlines and even a Red Ensign flag are perhaps redeeming factors, but are they enough to entice the devout “classically piratey” fans to purchase?

A red ensign flag could be useful…

The hold on The Endurance

The hold… a great place to stash booty… oh wait!

The deck is loaded with detail and includes four life boats to enable your custom Shackleton minifig to survive… although he might be a tad large to sail aboard a micro scale ship.


This ISN’T a Pirate Ship

Nay, The Endurance was active during the early twentieth century, a far cry from the Golden Age of Piracy of the 16th and 17th centuries.

It must be such a hard job posing with LEGO sets

Nonetheless, tall ships of any era hold great interest for LEGO Pirates fans, so the Classic Pirates have been tracking these rumours for their benefit.

Perhaps The Endurance is not the ship some hoped for, but the set may offer plenty of relevant parts for the perfect pirate or imperial ship… especially those material sails.

The History

The Endurance is based on a real ship and there be quite a tale behind her!

Plaque with historic details

The ship’s historic details are acknowledged in a special plaque piece

For those not familiar with The Endurance and Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary quest, here be a brief Historical Overview with all the vital details:

2024 Documentary

To satiate the appetite of history buffs who yearn every morsel of knowledge, National Geographic released a documentary featuring The Endurance on 1 November, 2024.

Complete with audio and video clips recorded during the historic voyage, this doco chronicles The Endurance’s voyage, demise and modern rediscovery.

Official Synopsis

In a legendary feat of leadership and perseverance, polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton kept his crew of 27 men alive for over a year despite the loss of their ship in frigid pack ice. Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship. From National Geographic Documentary Films and directed by Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin and Natalie Hewit, ENDURANCE tells the inspiring stories of these two landmark expeditions, bound by their shared grit and determination.
