Description

When the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket in 1819, the unthinkable happened. A mere speck in the vast Pacific ocean – and powerless against the forces of nature – Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale, and her twenty crewmen were forced to take to the open sea in three small boats. Ninety days later only a handful of survivors were rescued – and a terrifying story of desperation, cannibalism and courage was revealed …One of the greatest sea yarns ever spun, In the Heart of the Sea is the true story of the extraordinary events that inspired Herman Melville’s masterpiece Moby-Dick.
