What a great read. While there is a huge amount of historical facts...whale information...navigation information..etc. this story is about the fate of the crew of the Essex and their heroic and tragic last voyage. It was a spellbinder for me and I often had to interrupt my husband's 24hour news addition to read him interesting parts. I cannot list the book until he reads it...now he is hooked on the story. Not for romance fans but highly recommended.
