Petroleum products had not yet replaced whale oil for lighting or lubrication. So the demand was vast. As whales were hunted down, the Atlantic Ocean proved insufficient. Ships from the United States traveled around the Southern tip of South America to increasingly remote locations in the Pacific Ocean.<br \/>\n<i>The Heart of the Sea<\/i> is a history book, telling us about the whales, the whale trade, and whaling ships. It is an action story, telling us about the incredible disaster that befell the <i>Essex<\/i> (<b>Hint:<\/b> if you ever read the novel, <i>Moby Dick,<\/i> the story of the <i>Essex<\/i> may sound familiar). And it is a study in human behavior, telling us how the crew of the <i>Essex<\/i> reacted to their predicament; and how they survived. The book concludes with the short biography of each of the survivors.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>REVIEW: <\/strong><\/span> The story of the of the whaleship, <i>Essex<\/i> is a compelling story, well told by Nathaniel Philbrick. If you are squeamish, the details of the sailors&#8217; survival may be told a bit too vividly.<\/li>\n<li><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">RECOMMENDATION: <\/span> <\/b> Highly recommended to those for whom it is intended (see above).<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>RATING (out of 5 stars):<\/b><\/span>\u00a0 <span class=\"rating\"><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6010?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6010?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TITLE:\u00a0 Heart of the Sea.
