In the Heart of the Sea (originally published as Revenge of the Whale): The True Story of the Whaleship Essex
This is an authentic account of the Whaleship Essex that was attacked and sunk by an extraordinarily large whale in 1820. The ship sailed out of Nantucket to hunt for whales to harvest the whale oil. Three small lifeboats were launched as the Essex sank. In this abridged version of Heart of the Sea, Philbrick recounts the details of cannibalism and execution that were pieced together from a cabin boy's diary made public in 1984. Most of the book deals with the crew's struggle to survive and their eventual rescue three months later. This story gives students the opportunity to read about a way of life that no longer exists. Readers will witness heroism, cowardice and the fierce will to live. The photographs, drawings and maps enhance the text and were drawn by the surviving cabin boy.
