In the Heart of the Sea The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

Filbrek has written several well-regarded books of maritime history. The one most relevant to our discussion today is called In the Heart of the Sea, the Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex. The Essex was a real-life inspiration for Moby Dick by Herman Melville, the whale of all whaling books.

i just read a book uh called in the heart of the sea about a group of 19th century whalers who were shipwrecked in the middle of the pacific

I'm reading In the Heart of the Sea, the tragedy of the whale ship Essex, the story that MobyDick was based on, about a whaling ship in 1820 that sails around South America, kills whales, and the crew faces brutal challenges.

You'd have to bring a snake charmer out with you and hang them over the side of the boat and hit them with a snake charmer like castaways drawing lots, man. You ever read that book In the Heart of the Sea?

And now you know what I'm reading? Cause we've been doing a lot of work with the tunnel, the towers guys. And one of my buddies who you've met, uh, has been involved in some of the prosecution. He suggested that I read the oral history of nine 11, uh, which is, it's been out a long time, but it's been, you know, 23 years since nine 11. And I'm reading all of these, uh, it's, it's fabulous book, um, that has, it's just a coalition, just a nine 11 report. The overview of the comp like not, not the nine 11 report. It's a story. Um, of the, it's an oral history. I'm not even sure who wrote it of all of the people from a variety of different perspectives involved in nine 11. And it's a riveting. Now I read the book back in the day, the tower, the looming tower or whatever, which was very well done. This book is just inside.
