How These Sailors Survived 90 Days In The Deadliest Whaling Disaster
1820. The vast Pacific Ocean. A quiet morning… until the unthinkable happened.
A 238-ton whaleship, the Essex, was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale, leaving twenty-one sailors stranded-no maps, limited provisions, and an endless ocean all around them.
What followed was one of the most harrowing survival stories in maritime history: 90 days of starvation, relentless storms… and unthinkable choices, even cannibalism. Owen Chase, the ship’s first mate, documented every detail of their unimaginable struggle, a story that inspired Moby Dick and remains one of the most haunting sagas ever told.
This is the true story behind" In the Heart of the Sea". What happened to the Essex crew will haunt you long after you hear it. So, stay with me tonight, the campfire is ready and the story is about to start. My name is Sam, and this is Wild America.

What would be better is if you had a very low sounding campfire sound in the background.
ok I will for the next ones, thank you
On my iPhone it has a choice of background noises that I can vary volume to, from rain, wind, stream / running water, white noise and few others, I like to put the rain or stream on to it. 👌
What is the name of the book, please?
just Hugh Glass :)
The Revenant
@@PaulSedgewick-x3w that's the movie, not the book.
@@maddawgnoll also the title of the book by Michael Punke on which the movie was based..
@@PaulSedgewick-x3w well not according to the guy that's reading this story. As he answered the question first. The book he's reading is called Hugh Glass. Not that I know what book is what, just going by his answer above.
Fascinating, interesting, anxious to hear the rest of the story!!!
