About this product
Product Information
Shipwreck of the Whaleship Essex is the gripping story of a ship's encounter with a great white whale and the crew's harrowing plight for survival on the open seas. On 20 November 1820 the Essex was rammed by a sperm whale and sank in mid-Pacific. This book contains first mate's Owen Chase's original 1821 narrative, as well as two others written by the captain and a shipmate of the Essex. Each tells of the whale's attack, the sinking of the ship, and the three dreadful months that followed as the remainder of the crew were left stranded in a few small open boats in the South Seas. Of the twenty men that escaped the ship, eight survived; and they did so only by resorting to cannibalism.Capturing all the elements of an ancient and powerful tragedy, this book is a thrilling tale of survival - as well as a frightful example of man's darkest impulses - which allows the reader a gruesome glimpse behind the theatrical veil of honour and bravery that history often ascribes to such men of the sea. 'The reading of this wondrous story had a surprising effect upon me,' wrote Herman Melville on reading Owen Chase's narrative. An age-old gem of maritime lore, this story has made its mark

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
