What a wonderful book this was. It really described well the plight of the crew of the whaling ship Essex and what their journey was like.Not just the sinking of the ship , but also the relaionships of the different crew members were and the concept of being so alone out in uncharted seas well before the advent of any telephone. It even described how their mail would take monthes and monthes to reach family members back home. If you like old sea tales you will like this book.
