Voyage of the James Caird [SEP] Open-boat journey
Before leaving, Shackleton instructed Frank Wild that he was to assume full command as soon as the "James Caird" departed, and that should the journey fail, he was to attempt to take the party to Deception Island the following spring. The "James Caird" was launched from Elephant Island on 24 April 1916. The wind was a moderate south-westerly, which aided a swift getaway, and the boat was quickly out of sight of the land. Shackleton ordered Worsley to set a course due north, instead of directly for South Georgia, to get clear of the menacing ice-fields that were beginning to form.
