In the heart of the sea [sound recording] : the tragedy of the whaleship Essex / Nathaniel Philbrick.

Philbrick, Nathaniel, (author.). Brick, Scott, (narrator.). Penguin Audio (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary:

The incredible story of the wreck of the whaleship Essex, the inspiration for Melville's great classic, Moby Dick. In 1820, the Essex set sail from Nantucket on a routine voyage for whales. Fifteen months later, in the farthest reaches of the South Pacific, it was rammed and sunk by an eighty-ton bull sperm whale. Its twenty-man crew, fearing cannibals on the islands to the west, made for the 3,000-mile-distant coast of South America in three tiny boats.
