Question: Shackleton is a 2001 British television film, written and directed by who, the film tells the true story of Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition on the ship "Endurance", it was a three-masted barquentine?
Context: The Shackleton–Rowett Expedition, 1921–22, was the last Antarctic expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton.  Proposed as an ambitious two-year programme of Antarctic exploration it was curtailed by the death of Shackleton and the inadequacies of the expedition's ship, "Quest".  Under the command of Frank Wild several attempts were made to break through the Antarctic pack ice, but the expedition was never able to proceed further than longitude 20°E. On the crew's return to Cape Town to refit in preparation for the second term they were ordered home.  The crew of the "Quest" comprised 24 members in all, but only 19 were on board for the start of the Antarctic portion (Hussey accompanied Shackleton's body when it was put on board a ship for England, and Eriksen, Mooney and Bee-Mason had left before the ship reached South Georgia).  Gerald Lysaght, a yachtsman, accompanied the crew from Plymouth to Cape Verde. Shackleton is a 2001 British television film written and directed by Charles Sturridge and starring Kenneth Branagh as explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.  The film tells the true story of Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition on the ship "Endurance".  The cast includes Kevin McNally, Lorcan Cranitch, Embeth Davidtz, Danny Webb, Matt Day and Phoebe Nicholls (also the director's wife) as Lady Shackleton.  It was filmed in the UK, Iceland and Greenland.  The film used first-hand accounts by the men on the expedition to retell the story.  Shackleton biographer Roland Huntford was a production advisor. Shackleton Coast is that portion of the coast along the west side of the Ross Ice Shelf between Cape Selborne and Airdrop Peak at the east side of Beardmore Glacier in Antarctica.  Named by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) in 1961 after Sir Ernest Shackleton.  He accompanied Scott on the southern journey during the "Discovery" expedition (1901–04) and subsequently led three Antarctic expeditions.  On the British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09), Shackleton discovered the area beyond Shackleton Inlet to the Beardmore Glacier, and was the first to find a practicable route to the South Pole.  Lack of food stopped him 97 miles (180 km) from his goal. RRS "Discovery" was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain.  Designed for Antarctic research, it was launched as a Royal Research Ship (RRS) in 1901.  Its first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, successful journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition.  It is now the centrepiece of visitor attraction in its home, Dundee. Two Royal Navy ships have been called HMS "Endurance" after Sir Ernest Shackleton's "Endurance" , the ship crushed in the ice of the Weddell Sea during his 1914–1915 Antarctic expedition.  The ships' motto, "Fortitudine Vincimus" (By Endurance We Conquer), was Shackleton's family motto. Nimrod was the ship Ernest Shackleton used in his 1908 Antarctic Nimrod Expedition for the South Pole.  It was a 41-year-old schooner of 334 gross register tons that had been used to hunt seals and whales.  Shackleton, who paid £5,000 for the ship, had it re-rigged as a barquentine.  It also had an auxiliary steam engine, but had a top speed of only six knots under this power.  In addition, the ship was so overloaded with supplies for the expedition that it could not carry enough coal to make passage to the Antarctic from New Zealand, and Shackleton had to arrange for the ship to be towed to the edge of the pack ice by tramp steamer "Koonya".  The New Zealand government paid half the cost of the tow; Sir James Mills, Chairman of the Union Steamship Company, paid the other half.  The "Koonya" was captained by Fredrick Pryce Evans during the tow. James "Scotty" Paton (1869–1917 or 18) was a Scots-born seaman who sailed to the Antarctic in several major expeditions between 1902 and 1917.  His first venture was from 1902 to 1904 as a crewman of "Captain William Colbeck"'s SY Morning.  This expedition consisted of two voyages and was sent as a relief ship for the Captain Scott's Discovery Expedition.  During the first voyage the ship was briefly stalled in the ice between Cape Bird and Beaufort Island.  Scotty Paton took the opportunity to leave ship and jump floes a distance of one mile to 'land' of Beaufort Island, the first man to do so.  This accomplishment was received with a reprimand.  In 1907–09 he was a crew member of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition during each of "Nimrod's" two southern voyages.  From 1910 to 1913 he was a seaman aboard Captain Scott's "Terra Nova" during her two voyages between New Zealand and Cape Evans, in support of Scott's ill-fated expedition.  In 1914 he joined the Ross Sea party section of Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition as boatswain on the "Aurora".  He was aboard ship on 7 May 1915 when "Aurora" was torn from her Cape Evans moorings, drifting in the pack for nine months before limping back to New Zealand.  Paton's last Antarctic voyage was with "Aurora" on the mission to relieve the stranded Ross Sea party in January 1917. Endurance was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.  She was launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway and was crushed by ice, causing her to sink three years later in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica. Lamplugh Island ( ) is an ice-capped island, 10 nmi long, lying 4 nmi north of Whitmer Peninsula, along the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica.  This feature was first sighted by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, led by Robert Falcon Scott, but it was first charted as an island by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09 under Ernest Shackleton.  It was named by Shackleton for G.W. Lamplugh, who gave assistance to the expedition. The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17), also known as the "Endurance" Expedition, is considered the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.  Conceived by Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent.  After the conquest of the South Pole by Roald Amundsen in 1911, this crossing remained, in Shackleton's words, the "one great main object of Antarctic journeyings".  The expedition failed to accomplish this objective, but became recognised instead as an epic feat of endurance.
