Wow, what an interesting read. The whaleship Essex gets rammed by a sperm whale off the coast of South America, thousands of miles from land. And through a series of bad decisions spends months asea trying to survive and some day return to their home in Nantucket, MA. Some disturbing stuff in there, but handled with minimal gore.
