Synopsis
This study of an 1820 whaling-ship disaster, chronicles the surviving crew's three-month journey across open sea following the ramming and destruction of their vessel, the Essex. It includes much whaling lore and a vivid evocation of life in 19th-century Nantucket.

Publisher's Note
Tells the story of the 1820 wreck of the whaleship Essex, which in its time was as mythic as the sinking of the Titanic and which inspired Melville's classic Moby Dick, recounting its doomed crew's ninety-day attempt to survive whale attacks and the elements on three tiny lifeboats. Reprint.

Industry reviews

"[Philbrick's] book is knowledgeable and nuanced, and the learning is served up with a light hand."
Wall Street Journal - Stewart Ferguson (04/28/2000)

"[A] page turner that can withstand the most conscientious historian's scrutiny."
New York Times Book Review - W. Jeffrey Bolster (06/04/2000)

"[Philbrick's] robust prose bowls along with an agreeable flourish, and he has a keen sense of narrative drama....The reader is presented with excellent and substantial notes."
