Sense Sonnet - Acher

 The Endurance

In 1915 off the coast

Of Antarctica she brought her

Crew in high hopes that they could boast

Of a South Pole goal first for sure.

But ship Endurance could not be

Enduring through the time and place

Of fury from the Weddell Sea.

Abandon ship her crew did face.

They watched her disappear from sight,

Ten thousand feet down to descend

Into the darkness from the light.

Her sailing days came to an end.

In 2022 search bound.

Remains of the Endurance found.
