The Enchanted Sailor is a 1949 Australian radio verse play by Douglas Stewart about Captain Frank Worsley and the Shackleton Expedition.
Stewart also wrote a series of poems on the topic under the title Worsley Enchanted.
[3] According to one reviewer, the poem, "Though vivid, it does not equal, as poetry the best in this kind in Mr. Stewart's verse dramas.
This he does, both by word pictures... his sequence of poems is, by implication, a comment on the strangeness of all human experience, the mystery of our existence.
[6]It "tells how Endurance was trapped and destroyed in pack ice on the 1914 expedition to Antarctica; of how Worsley, a blunt sea captain, was suddenly thrust into a world so strange that it seemed almost like a dream; and how, after Endurance was smashed, the crew of 32 made their way to Elephant Island, where they lived for six months.
