Title: Thar She Blows!
Review: After having visited Nantucket many times for summer vacation, this book lends a great view of the historical island in it's real pretext. Although this is one of the most incredible adventure stories I have read, it is gruesome and tragic. The tragedy of the whaling ship Essex, makes Earnest Shakeltons antartic expedition look like a holiday in Bermuda. This book is not for the faint of heart, but it is none the less a miraculous account of human endurance, survival, and courage of the human spirit. It is astounding the adversity that we, as humans, are capable of overcoming. This book also gives quite a bit of insight into the gory world of 19th century whaling. I won't go into detail.
