Description
Waves pound the sides of the ship. A rowboat is lowered to the thrashing sea. A harpoon strikes its giant quarry. The "Nantucket sleighride" has begun...The danger and romance of the whaling life are part of American legend. And at the heart of this important enterprise was the whaling ship the world's first floating factory.Discover the complete story of the great whalers, from the often deadly early expeditions to the real-life adventure that was the basis for Melville's Moby Dick. See how they were built, and trace their epic, globe-spanning voyages. Go aboard through dramatic re-creations and sophisticated computer simulations, and learn the remarkable, often tragic, stories of the men who dared to sail them. And explore the enormous cultural and economic influence these revolutionary vessels had on a young and growing nation.
