The Explorers Club is proud to release this limited edition printed poster, celebrating the finding of Ernest Shackleton's legendary ship Endurance in Antarctic waters. Featuring stunning original artwork, only 150 prints will be made.

Led by Club Member Ernest Shackleton, Endurance set off in 1914 for the Antarctic Circle as part of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Eventually, disaster struck when the ship became trapped in pack ice and, nearly a year later, sank in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica on November 21st, 1915. Shackleton led his crew to safety, using the ship's boats to travel to Elephant Island, resulting in an incredible story of bravery and survival.

106 years later, on March 5th, 2022, the wreck of Endurance was found by search team Endurance22, carrying Explorers Club Flag #35. Endurance lies 9,869 feet deep, and has been designated as a protected historic site. 

The Endurance Found Poster features original artwork commissioned by The Explorers Club, based on an iconic image of Endurance taken on-site. An original daguerreotype, taken by expedition photographer Frank Hurley, now hangs at The Explorers Club Headquarters in New York City. Now, your Endurance poster can hang in your home, office – or captain's quarters!

Available in both 18”x24” or 16”x12”. Each poster is museum-quality and made on thick and durable matte paper. Featuring:

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

The Explorers Club is proud to release this limited edition printed poster, celebrating the Bell X-1's famous supersonic flight on October 14th, 1947.

On October 14th, 1947, over Muroc Air Base in the Mojave Desert, history was made with the first manned supersonic flight.

Piloted by U.S. Airforce Captain and Explorers Club Member Charles "Chuck" Yeager, the Bell X-1 -- a bright orange aircraft nicknamed "Glamorous Glennis" -- exceeded Mach 1 and flew faster than the speed of sound.

It reached an incredible speed of Mach 1.06 (700 MPH or 1,100 KPH) before gliding to a safe landing in the desert. Many thought that the aircraft would break apart upon reaching the sound barrier. However, the X-1's bullet shape, thin wings, and horizontal stabilizer made it an ideal craft for supersonic travel.

The Bell X-1 Supersonic Flight Poster features original artwork commissioned by The Explorers Club, based on iconic images of the X-1 in flight. An accurate model of the X-1, signed by Yeager, is on display at The Explorers Club's world-famous Archives in New York City. Now, the Bell X-1 can hang in your home, office – or cockpit!

Available in both 18”x24” or 16”x12”. Each poster is museum-quality and made on thick and durable matte paper. Featuring:

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil
• Paper weight: 5.57 oz/y² (189 g/m²)
• Opacity: 94%
• ISO brightness: 104%
• Paper is sourced from Japan
