In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the
nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the
twentieth. In 1819, the Essex left Nantucket for the South
Pacific with twenty crew members aboard. In the middle of the South
Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm
