In 1820 the Whaleship Essex was, rather ironically, sunk by a whale who attacked the ship. The 20 sailors of the Essex managed to survive by escaping into the ship's lifeboats, but then they faced months of being lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This book tells the true story of their struggle to survive.
