Download or read book The Loss of the Ship Essex, Sunk by a Whale written by Thomas Nickerson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gripping first-hand narrative of the whaling ship disaster that inspired Melville’s Moby-Dick and informed Nathaniel Philbrick’s monumental history, In the Heart of the Sea In 1820, the Nantucket whaleship Essex was rammed by an angry sperm whale thousands of miles from home in the South Pacific. The Essex sank, leaving twenty crew members drifting in three small open boats for ninety days. Through drastic measures, eight men survived to reveal this astonishing tale. The Narrative of the Wreck of the Whaleship Essex, by Owen Chase, has long been the essential account of the Essex’s doomed voyage. But in 1980, a new account of the disaster was discovered, penned late in life by Thomas Nickerson, who had been the fifteen-year-old cabin boy of the ship. This discovery has vastly expanded and clarified the history of an event as grandiose in its time as the Titanic. This edition presents Nickerson’s never-before-published chronicle alongside Chase’s version. Also included are the most important other contemporary accounts of the incident, Melville’s notes in his copy of the Chase narrative, and journal entries by Emerson and Thoreau.

Book excerpt: Discover the amazing true story behind the inspiration for Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" and the feature film "Heart of the Sea"A tragic yet riveting narration of life and death and man against the elements, this is an extreme account of shipwreck survival. On the morning of November 20, 1820, in the Pacific Ocean 2,000 miles from the coast of South America, an enraged sperm whale rammed the Nantucket whaleship "Essex." As the boat began to sink, her crew of 20, including first mate Owen Chase, grabbed what little they could before piling into frail boats and taking to the open seas.

Owen Chase recorded the extraordinary account in his autobiography, originally published in 1821.

Book Synopsis The Ministry of Heaven by : Rev. George Vale Owen
Download or read book The Ministry of Heaven written by Rev. George Vale Owen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft Cover: This book was originally published in England in 1920, and is the third of a five volume set. The recorder is the Rev. G. Vale Owen, vicar of Orford, Lancashire. The famous Arthur Conan Doyle, someone who had a great deal of interest in Life after Death, contributed an introduction to all five volumes. The messages contained in this book were also published in a daily newspaper by the owner Lord Northcliffe. As such they were widely read, and widely acclaimed. This particular volume is recited by Leader, a spirit residing in what we would call the Fifth Sphere, but which in this series is called the Tenth. Many topics are covered, and once again you get the feeling that you are a part of the action. The most amazing of these is a journey into the hells which eventually resulted in the release of 144,000 spirits from the clutches of a single dark spirit, and their resettlement in an area of marginally more light where they could set about rehabilitating themselves.

Download or read book 1821 written by Owen Chase and published by Huge Jam Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owen Chase's account of how he survived being shipwrecked in 1821 after a whale's apparent 'revenge attack'. His account is full of real life horror, made all the more terrible by the matter-of-fact style of its telling. The whale's attacks are breathtakingly vivid. His descriptions of reluctant cannibalism are vivid too: he describes the drying strips of human flesh as they hang upon the ship and he describes the macabre drawing of lots as it falls upon Owen Coffin (the captain's nephew) to be shot and eaten. Chase steers clear of sentimentality and melodrama. He tells it as it is. No one can fail to be moved by what he went through or impressed by his strength. His story inspired the novel and film 'In The Heart of The Sea'. It also inspired Melville to write 'Moby Dick': Melville was handed the manuscript of Chase's writing by Chase's son twenty years after its publication.
