The resemblsnce is astonishing ??One of the big criticisms of it I heard was that the casting choices were dubious. For example, Hemsworth, with his underwear model looks, is playing a guy called Owen Chase, who actually looked like this:
Quite the likeness lol
What's it about/like? Could be right up my bro's alley.
A very gruesome read indeed but I absolutely loved it. Great read! I haven’t seen the film either, but I’ve heard it’s not very good.
The sinking of the whaleship Essex by an enraged spermwhale in the Pacific in November 1820 set in motion one of the most dramatic sea stories of all time: the twenty sailors who survived the wreck took to three small boats (one of which was again attacked by a whale) and only eight of them survived their subsequent 90-day ordeal, after resorting to cannibalising their mates.
Three months after the Essex was broken up, the whaleship Dauphin, cruising off the coast of South America, spotted a small boat in the open ocean. As they pulled alongside they saw piles of bones in the bottom of the boat, at least two skeletons’ worth, with two survivors – almost skeletons themselves – sucking the marrow from the bones of their dead ship-mates.
Recently listened to a podcast about this and thought the tale was suitably grim enough to grab the book. Apparently the events detailed within were the main inspiration for Moby D i c k (thanks profanity filter lol )
A really enjoyable, if gruesome read. A lot of backstory on what life was like on a 19th century whaling ship as well which I thought was interesting.
Apparently this has been made into a film as well, but not a very good one by all accounts lol
Might be up your street this one @COYBL25
Update: The wording of the contracts has been agreed between myself, the other researcher, and the Publishers. We are now simply waiting to digitally sign the contracts, then we will be getting stuck into the complete update. Everything to the publishers by September 2024, volumes out in 2025.
Just got it for a tenner off Amazon mate. Looking forward to it now. Reviews look good
