The oceans was the shared wilderness of America for around 250 years. This book is a true story of the American way in 1819 and nature’s revenge; plus “the custom of the sea” as a fierce way to survive. Free copies of In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick are available at the library.
