LEGO Icons The Endurance Set

7th November 2024:  Today, the LEGO Group unveils the LEGO® Icons The Endurance set. This set allows history enthusiasts and LEGO fans to embark on a voyage of creativity and recreate Sir Ernest Shackleton’s iconic vessel in stunning detail.

The 3,011-piece set replica model captures the majestic presence of the famous ship in all its glory, with 3 towering masts, 10 full sails, a flying red ensign flag and intricate rigging. The detailed multi-level deck, connected by stairs, has removable sections for access to port and starboard cabins and the ship’s steam engine. Other features include 4 detachable lifeboats, a chained bower anchor and a ship’s wheel that operates the rudder. Ideal for collectors who have a passion for historical ships, and a great decorative piece that includes a sturdy stand for display.

The Endurance ship was the three-masted ship that sailed for The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition from 1914–1917 and is considered to be the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, the British explorer, the goal of the Antarctic Expedition was to cross the Antarctic continent from sea to sea via the South Pole. However, the expedition faced severe challenges, and Shackleton and his crew were stranded on the ice for months. Demonstrating extraordinary leadership and determination, Shackleton led his men on a harrowing journey to safety.
