[edit] Perce Blackborow
Wasn't this dude originally a stowaway, who Shackleton decided to put to work rather than turn around and put off?
[edit] Plagarized?
This page appears to be a copy of http://www.solarnavigator.net/history/hms_endurance.htm. Is there permission for this?

I dare to say that it is the other way around. That they copied their content from this article. I feel positive about saying this, as the bulk of what is here in the present form, I wrote it myself long ago, and since then, I have kept an eye on the article. Maybe they should be the ones giving credit to wikipedia. Anagnorisis 04:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually, they do have a lot of nerve by saying their page is copyrighted when they copied their content from here. Anagnorisis 04:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I'd say you have a strong case for complaining. On 7th Nov 2005 you changed the distinctive sentence:
"She was trapped in the Antarctic ice in the Weddell Sea for 281 days,..."
...to read...
"Endurance drifted for months while remaining beset in the ice in the Weddell Sea and drifted with it."
...which is verbatim what it says here: [1]. According to the www.archive.org site (the wayback machine), the solarnavigator site didn't have an article about the HMS Endurance at that time (although the remainder of their site looked pretty much as it does today). Even as recently as TWBM's most recent archive, (April 2006) there was no article about the Endurance.
It's pretty clear then that SolarNavigator.net (a) Violated the GFDL by not giving us credit for the article and (b) is illegally claiming copyright on text they don't own.
Naughty, naughty. There is a WP: page somewhere for reporting this kind of thing - I don't recall where it is.
I emailed them to tell them to stop doing this. SteveBaker 05:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
