Checked back for or 3 pages - no mention!
The reconstruction of the voyage & shipwreck of the Essex (on which Moby Dick was based) and the quite horrendous trials of the survivors - an incredible read, altho' my interest is increased by the fact my great-grandfather was a Whitby whaler, his son, my grandfather was apprenticed in sail out of Hartlepool - I have his indentures.
