DON''T MISS THE MAJOR FILM INSPIRED BY CHASE''S NARRATIVE, IN THE HEART OF THE SEA
On 20 November 1820, just south of the equator, the whaling ship Essex, spotted and pursued a shoal of sperm whales. As the crew started harpooning, the largest whale – some 85 feet long – rammed the Essex twice and ''stove in her bows''. What followed was an epic three-month voyage in open boats across storm-tossed seas. Only eight men survived, sustained by eating those who died.
This edition includes Owen Chases’s famous account, as well as memoirs by two other crew members and a facsimile of Herman Melville''s notes on Chase’s narrative.
