On 20 November 1820, just south of the equator, the whaling ship Essex, out of Nantucket, spotted a `shoal` of sperm whales. It was a fine clear day, about eight in the morning. Two whaling boats, lightly built for rowing speed, were lowered from the Essex. The crew pursued & harpooned tree of the whales, whereupon the largest of them
- some 85 feet long
- rammed the Essex twice in ten minutes & `stove in her bows`. This remarkable incident was followed by an epic three-month journey in open boats across storm-tossed seas
- a feat of navigation & survival that rivals those of Shackleton & Bligh. Only eight men survived, sustained by eating six of those who died. Twenty-three-year-old Owen Chase was first mate of the Essex. His narrative of these events makes compulsive reading. This edition also
