      Since the banning of whaling through most of the world, mothers will allow their calfs to come to the surface to greet passing vessels not seeing humans as the threats they used to be. Indian elephants are also notabally friendlier now they are not used as weapons of war.

      They are very lucky that any crew member on those boats actually made it to safety on another ship because if all 20/more men stayed on the island, the amount of food would not be enough to sustain them all till a rescue boat comes (if any rescue boat would come to the island in the first place without anyone to fetch the boats). So you can say that the crew that sailed out sacrificed their life in return for the quick recovery of the crew left behind on the island.
      In a situation like that, luck plays a major role and the 3 Crewmate has won the lottery. But someone definitely has to sail out in search of rescue which was just turned out to be the 17 men.

    I read that the whale that attacked the ship was not doing it out of revenge.
    they feel that the ship arrived during mating, so the male whales were more aggressive, and as the whaling ships were doing their duty, the workers on the ship were doing repairs. The hammering is assumed to be what attracted the attacking whale, seeing it as a rival, and wanting it removed from area.

    Awesome tale! I grew up spending aummers on Nantucket with a fundamental knowledge of whaling history. The logs of most of these journeys, which migrated from only the Atlantic seaboard to a global pursuit of the quarry, are well documented and preserved on island in a special museum. I would be certain to say that gruesome accounts can be found among the journals in this museum.

      I haven’t a problem with people hunting animals that are in abundance, when done properly, it’s way more humane and less wasteful than the meat industry. However, I do take issue with people killing animals that are endangered, or killing just to kill. A couple of years ago, an indigenous man was recorded killing a poor wombat, very cruelly and slowly with a rock. He had his friend shine car lights on the poor creature to confuse it. This guy was a bloody police officer, and he got away with it, even though it was obvious animal cruelty and was just discarded on the side of the road afterwards.☹️

We were trapped for 45 minutes, alone in an elevator on the high sea. After 15 minutes my wife had gone "Full-Karen", demanding the manager and threatening to sue. I tried to reassure her and calm her down but there is just so much one man can do.The long and short of it is, by the time we were rescued, half an hour later, in a state of delirium brought on by the ravages of starvation and thirst, I had killed and eaten the b***h.

    • @canyounotmydude9155
      @canyounotmydude9155 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Kris De Roo first off, where is the name "Mocha Dick" coming from? Nobody called it that. Second, you talk about Owen, but you forget about Thomas Nickerson, the cabin boy, who also wrote about this exact event later in his life, and communication back then was not like today's, so there's no way Owen and Tom were in kahoots or Tom was "clout chasing". The *newspapers* about it still took several days to go around anyways, so there's that. Assuming that you are completely denying the ship's destruction at all, look at the references on Wikipedia, if you are denying it was destroyed by a whale, technically I can't 'deny' that possibility (despite the numerous testimonies), *But* ships have been sunken by whale attacks before, including as far recent as 1999. Also, you still haven't brought up any source that disproves this ever happened. Also what the fuck does me saying "literal" several times have anything to do with this? It's like you brought this up as a last ditch "gotcha" moment but it's really moot. Nobody gives a shit about how you form your sentences unless they are completely grammatically incorrect. i am still willing to be proven wrong, is there anything I could look at that proves anyone here wrong?

      Same, they could have given the turtles water at least esp since they can consume sea water. A year without water is cruel.

    recommend reading "In the Heart of the Sea" Nathanial Philbrick... a great read and has all the stories around this, as well as story of Nantucket whale trade etc .. award winning book. the captain of the Essex was an experienced seaman, but inexperienced captain who actually lost TWO ships he commanded. He ended up working as a night watchman back on Nantucket and was known to store caches of food around his house.. a legacy of his trauma i suppose.

    Ah yes, the Essex. I remember when I first heard of it and I was in awe that the story of Moby Dick really did have some basis in reality. It was also really nice to find a story where the whale wins for once; without them and their oil we wouldn't have gotten as far as we have as a society, but that doesn't mean I feel good about forcing them to near extinction. Another story you should definitely cover is the story of a whale who, in my opinion, far outdid the Essex in telling the story of a white whale that fought back against the hunters. His name was Mocha Dick. Look him up. :)

      The whalers got fucked by Mocha Dick. “A bull of prodigious size” according to Jeremiah Reynolds, the explorer who catalogued his encounters.
