| The whale attack was only the first of many challenges for the Essex crew |
Nathaniel Philbrick's In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex tells the harrowing story of Nantucket whalers set adrift in the Pacific Ocean after their ship was sunk by a sperm whale. While lost at sea, the men eventually turn to cannibalism in order to survive. In a concise essay, illustrate the chain of events that led the whalers to the decision to consume their fellow crewmen.
