In 1819, the 238-ton Essex set sail from Nantucket on a routine voyage to hunt whales. Fifteen months later, the Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale.
Great, great book. I read it a long time ago, but it's a book I definitely recommend to others. Grabs you and pulls you in. It was recommended to me by an English major. A historical thriller.

A very good read. I'll be interested to see how it translates into a movie. I suspect large parts of it will be dropped or changed.
Oddly, there is a part of me that thinks I may have read this before. The execution of Owen Coffin is particularly memorable.
