Helpful Score: 1

The story of the whale ship Essex, the inspiration for Herman Melville's Moby Dick - a tale of survival, with 20 men forced into lifeboats for 3 months, with only 8 coming out alive - bad choices and circumstances forced them to revert to eating crew members to stay alive. Sometimes disturbing, but it's history. Includes photos and maps to help you through the story.
