The Essex

I constantly read books. I always have one going. Just finished, In The Heart Of The Sea. It’s about a whaling ship that is sunk by a 40 foot sperm whale in the 1800’s. Then the torturous three month survival of two dozen sailors in three tiny rowboats as they sail thousands of miles under impossible conditions. Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick as a result of hearing about this true life event and actually befriending the captain.
