Apparently, the Ottoman Sultan wanted to donate £10,000 to famine relief but Queen Victoria persuaded him to only donate £1000 (because she had donated £2000 and didn't want to be undone). According to wiki, anyway....

A useless mouth. As it was, if things had gone on for much longer on Elephant Island, the castaways might have had to start eating each other. They did in fact discuss it amongst themselves. Cannibalism in these situations is not unheard of - Franklin's lost expedition, anyone?

The cat was actually a he, which they mis-identified when naming it ... :whistle:

The cat would have died anyway ...he killed it to save it the drawn out death.. not nice I know but the best thing to do in the circumstances... although not something I could do :(

Not only did Shackleton rescue all of men from the Imperial Transantarctic Expedition, he also had a garden centre named after him. I guess he must be the best, then...
