Episode 168
Monday, 15 September, 2025
🎙️ Map of historic travelsWe’re diving into the wild world of whaling today, specifically the tale of Nantucket’s infamous whale ship, the Essex. This ship had a seriously rough go when it crossed paths with a vengeful sperm whale back in 1820, turning the crew from hunters into the hunted. Imagine facing starvation and even cannibalism just to survive—yikes, right? This harrowing saga didn’t just sink a ship; it also inspired Herman Melville to spin his epic yarn, Moby Dick. So grab your life vests, folks, as we navigate through this captivating slice of maritime history that’s as thrilling as it is chilling!📍 Google Maps to Nantucket🎥 Video version of this podcast💬 Comment on this episode here-------------------------------------------------------⬇️ Help us keep the show going and explore history with us! ⬇️☕️ Buy us a coffee 😁🧳 Get free travel resources in your inbox.
