Before the sinking of the Titanic the most well-known tragedy at sea was about the whaling ship Essex. If you have never heard of this story then you must listen to this episode, and if you have heard the story, I would still recommend you listen to this episode. In it I give you my perspective as a sailor and captain of tallships, and I hope it will give people who are knowledgeable of the events some new ideas and information to reflect on.
