The sinking of the whaleship ESSEX by an enraged spermwhale far out in the Pacific in November 1820 set in train one of the most dramatic sea stories of all time.Now, following the discovery of a hitherto unknown account by one of the survivors, the last voyage of the ESSEX can be described in all its fateful horror.
The ESSEX was a whaleship from Nantucket, off the New England coast - for over a century the whaling capital of the world at a time when the Pacific was what the Middle East is today,the site of the world's primary oil reserves.For it was the spermwhale,a true leviathan of the deep possessing the largest brain of any animal that has ever lived,which provided the oil that lit the streets and lubricated the machines of the Industrial Age,and where the Nantucket whalemen (mostly Quakers) who were perhaps the greatest hunters the world has ever known.
Accounts of the unprecedented whale attack on the ESSEX inspired Herman Melville's mighty novel Moby Dick,but 'In the Heart of the Sea' goes beyond these events to describe what happened when the twenty mixed-race crewmen took to sail three small boats,with only the simplest of navigational aids.Three months later,the whaleship Dauphin,cruising off the coast of South America,spotted a tiny boat sailing erratically across the open ocean.
As it pulled alongside,its crew saw bones - at least two skeletons' worth - and just two survivors (almost skeletons themselves) among them. The sailors had been forced to draw lots to decide who should be killed that the rest might live.A moving and powerful narrative history whose multi-layered drama (human,environmental,moral,physical and spiritual) has all the makings of a classic.It is an elemental tale of human endurance and survival that is bound to have universal appeal.
Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices, weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too!
