Description
In the late spring of 1871, thirty-two of the finest whaling ships sailed out of New Bedford, Massachussetts and other American ports carrying 1,219 crewmen, captains and their families. Winter was already setting in and they were warned by the Eskimoes not to remain at sea. Only seven ships heeded the warning and the rest headed toward, without parallel, the worse disaster in the long history of whaling. This is the story of their desperate struggle for survival and of their rescue without a single loss of life, an authentic adventure filled with history and heroics.
