🧠A ship, a wreck, and now… two works of art.
In Clermont, France, model-maker and maritime enthusiast Serge Lambert dedicated over 2 years to handcraft two detailed scale models of the legendary Endurance, the ship lost in 1915 and rediscovered in 2022.
These maquettes were gifted to the very explorers who found her at nearly 3,000 meters depth in the Weddell Sea: John Shears and Nicolas Vincent, Operating Manager at Deep Ocean Search.
A gesture of admiration for a historic expedition, led by expertise, passion, and cutting-edge subsea technology.
The story comes full circle: a ship lost, found, and now honored through craftsmanship. As a thank-you, Serge himself received a unique 3D-printed model of the wreck as it lies on the seafloor — created by a member of the DOS expedition team.
A beautiful tribute to Endurance, to those who built her, those who sailed her, those who found her… and those who preserve her story.
