Into the Heart of the Sea.
This is the true story that inspired the events of Moby Dick, except it goes into the events after the Essex is sunk by a whale.
21 sailors get into three rowboats, and begin making for South America. Not all of them get there. A fascinating tale of survival, cannibalism and life as a whaler when the odds were roughly equal of you going home with a whale, or a whale going home with you.
(OK, I know THAT word is often used as a childish insult, but it is also half of the title of an iconic book, AND a common shortening of the name Richard. It looks so bad up there with a gap in the middle. And Moby Richard is a really stupid retitle. What's the trick to fixing it? I've tried putting tags in the middle, but I must be using the wrong ones...)
Thank you to the person who explained how to make the title work! I swear to never use this new power for EVIL Purposes!
