Education

Building a Legacy

It is the Trust’s over-riding aim and mission to spread information and details of its activities and interests as far and wide as possible, and to as many people and educational establishments as we can.
The discovery of the wreck of Sir Earnest Shackleton’s lost ice ship Endurance on 5th March 2022 by an FMHT organised expedition to the Antarctic, has opened up a whole new world for those who want to study and learn the lessons of the polar explorers adventures and leadership example. Find out more about the history of Shackleton and his famous expedition here.

Spreading the Word

For the expedition to find Shackleton’s Endurance, we partnered with the international educational organisation Reach the World. Using live streaming technology, we brought the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton to educational establishments worldwide. This helped create new discussions around the wreck of Endurance, Antarctic wildlife and the environment through exclusive interviews with crew members from the 2022 expedition.

If you are interested in finding out more about the 2022 expedition visit our Endurance22 website.

The search for WWI German Battleships

In December 2019, FMHT organised another expedition to search for the missing German battlefleet involved in the famous Battle of the Falklands clash between German and Royal Navy warships in December 1914. Students have been able to learn more about this important sea battle by watching a feature-length documentary revealing what happened during the expedition.

Revealing the Maritime Heritage of the Falkland Islands

Our interactive map of the Falklands, which is at the heart of this website, reveals where many of the most important and valued shipwrecks lie. The detail of each vessel will gradually be expanded and enhanced, and hopefully added to by even more video films. This will allow people of all ages to find out more about the maritime heritage of the Falklands and surrounding areas.
