Seller Notes:
“history recreated for older children : the account of the morning of November 20th 1820 when the Nantucket Whaling ship Essex was rammed by an eraged sperm whale and slowly began sinking. Her crew of 20 had only time to collect a few possessions before pulling away in three frail open boats without charts..there followed 90 days of privations and suffering on the open sea ...days of fear and despair often more debilitating than physical exhaustion. Has an ex price mark otehrwise clean interior and unclipped clean dustajcket.”
