Nicholas Berger
On a Stormy Sea

2015

About the Item

The famed whaling ship, Essex, on a roiling and stormy sea. The Essex is arguably the most famous Nantucket whaling ship in history. The Essex was a successul whaler during her carreer, but it was her unfortunate destruction by a sperm whale—and the unspeakable horrors that befell her crew afterward—that served as the inspiration for the first Great American Novel, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale.
