Some days are just outstanding in history: today is one of those days.

The American whaling ship Essex was rammed by a sperm whale and later sank, inspiring the climactic scene in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851).
I cannot help but cheer for the sperm whale, although I feel for the crew and their families.

I think that most, if not all of them, survived, by taking to the boats, but it was a long hard voyage in the boats.

@actofdog Thank you.
