The Loss of the Ship Essex, Sunk by a Whale by Thomas Nickerson, Thomas Philbrick, Owen Chase, Nathaniel Philbrick

3.0

This book makes for a nice supplement for Philbrick’s “In the Heart of the Sea” if you are especially interested. It’s nice to read about the story of the Essex disaster from two of the survivors in their own voices, but I’d say that “In the Heart of the Sea” tells the story best, and should be sufficient for most.
