In the Heart of the Sea
A maritime history that recounts the true story of the whaleship Essex, which was rammed and sunk by a sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean in 1820. It follows the crew's harrowing 90-day ordeal in small whaleboats, facing starvation, dehydration, and cannibalism, and examines the event that inspired Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
