Shel,

If Shackleton's 1914 expedition was the one where the ship was crushed in
pack-ice, forcing the leader and a small party to sail to South Georgia
Island in the ship's boat, to summon relief, while the rest of the crew had
to winter-over in Antarctica (no small business in those times), then the
answer is yes.

Hurley shot both the movie footage and the famous stills of the ship's last
moments as it was crushed by the ice.  He also was responsible for great
anthropological photography and filming in New Guinea and central Australia.

regards,
Anthony Farr
