4 1/2 stars, excellent, well researched tale of Nantucket, whaling, the shipwreck that inspired Melville to write Moby Dick, and the struggle to stay alive in tiny boats with little food for months. The parts about killing and butchering the whales and the Galapagos tortoises were a bit hard to take, but no doubt historically accurate
