Project journal Editor Emma De Vita meets Nico Vincent, Subsea Project Manager for the Endurance22 expedition, which on 5 March found the wreck of Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, which sank off the coast of Antarctica 107 years ago. The wreckage was discovered at a depth of 3,008m, around four miles south of where it was reported to have been lost by Frank Worsley, Endurance’s captain, in 1915. Endurance22 set off from Cape Town a month earlier, with a team of 63 people aboard the South African ice-breaker Agulhas II. The expedition has reportedly cost around £7.6m.
Nico has spent 30 years recovering deep-sea wrecks and gives us his project management insights on what it takes to prepare for a project like this, how it feels to see such a piece of history – and the lessons he takes away from this successful project.
