- [Men Wanted](https://sght.org/timeline/men-wanted/) - More than a century after it reputedly appeared, the ad is still lauded as one of the best examples of copywriting ever seen.

- [South Georgia Beckons](https://sght.org/timeline/south-georgia-beckons/) - Navigation became, in Worsley's words, "a merry jest of guesswork", as they encountered the worst of the weather. The James Caird was taking on water in heavy seas and in danger of sinking, kept afloat by continuous bailing. The temperature fell sharply, and a new danger presented itself in the accumulations of frozen spray, which threatened to capsize
