What explorer left with his son in a small boat?

The explorer who famously left with his son in a small boat was Ernest Shackleton. During his 1914 Antarctic expedition on the ship Endurance, after the vessel was trapped and eventually crushed by ice, Shackleton and a small crew, including his son, embarked on a harrowing journey in a lifeboat to seek help. They sailed across treacherous waters to reach South Georgia, ultimately leading to the rescue of the rest of the crew. Shackleton's leadership and determination became legendary in the annals of exploration.
