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.

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