Book Overview

When the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket in 1819, the unthinkable happened. A mere speck in the vast Pacific ocean – and powerless against the forces of nature – Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale, and her twenty crewmen were forced to take to the open sea in three small boats. Ninety days later only a handful of survivors were rescued – and a terrifying story of desperation, cannibalism and courage was revealed …

One of the greatest sea yarns ever spun, In the Heart of the Sea is the true story of the extraordinary events that inspired Herman Melville’s masterpiece Moby-Dick.
