Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, CVO, OBE, FRGS led three expeditions to Antarctica.
His first journey was as the third officer with Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition in 1901. Discovery set sail from the Isle of Wight on 6 August 1901.
His second expedition attempted to 'conquer' the South Pole, and his team achieved 88 degrees S, only 97 miles from the South Pole. The Nimrod sailed on 11 August 1907, but Shackleton sailed at a later date.
Shackleton led the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, planned for 1914-1917. This was to be the first land crossing of the continent. Endurance left Plymouth on 8 August 1914, but Shackleton, remaining in England to finish expedition business, sailed on a faster ship on a later date and joined the expedition in Buenos Aires.
These details all from multiple entries in Wikipedia covering Shackleton and his three expeditions.
