Elephant Island
After the dramatic voyage of the "James Caird", Ernest Shackleton had attempted and failed three times to rescue the crew left on Elephant Island: the ships "Southern Sky" (loaned by the English Whaling Co, 23–31 May 1916), "Instituto de Pesca N°1" (loaned by the Government of Uruguay, 10–16 June 1916) and "Emma" (a sealer, funded by the British Club, Punta Arenas, 12 July – 8 August 1916) all failed to reach Elephant Island.
