HMS Endurance

HMS Endurance

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.

*HMS "Endurance", pennant number A171, served as the British Antarctic ice patrol vessel from 1967 to 1991. It was built in Denmark in 1956 as the "Anita Dan" and purchased by the Royal Navy in 1967.
*HMS "Endurance", also A171, is a class 1A1 icebreaker in service since 1991 as the replacement to the first HMS "Endurance". It was built in Helsinki in 1990 as the "Polar Circle" and leased by the Royal Navy in 1991, and purchased and renamed in 1992.
