"Then slowly, silently, she disappeared beneath the ice, leaving only a small gap of black, open water to mark where she had been"With the loss of the Endurance, not only did the crew lose the boat itself, but also what it stood for. The boat was a symbol (an object used to represent something else) to the crew. It symbolized the trials and tribulations that the crewmen encountered and overcame. Now that she (the boat) was gone, they lost a bit of hope inside them that they would be rescued.
The sinking of the boat and the challenges involved with it make me think of a song called:The Irish Rover. The version i like best is by Off Kilter. it depicts the impractical journey of a ship and all the problems it encounters. For your enjoyment, I'm posting it for you. Be warned, bagpipes are addicting.
