    Could go either way, really... A BETTER Idea would have been to leave as many people as possible on the island, and gather as much food/water as possible to take on the "get help mission". Using only a few crew members in 2 separate boats... Would things have gone so well if rescue teams hadn't gone back to get the men on the island? Likely not.

    They are very lucky that any crew member on those boats actually made it to safety on another ship because if all 20/more men stayed on the island, the amount of food would not be enough to sustain them all till a rescue boat comes (if any rescue boat would come to the island in the first place without anyone to fetch the boats). So you can say that the crew that sailed out sacrificed their life in return for the quick recovery of the crew left behind on the island. In a situation like that, luck plays a major role and the 3 Crewmate has won the lottery. But someone definitely has to sail out in search of rescue which was just turned out to be the 17 men.

    I read that the whale that attacked the ship was not doing it out of revenge. they feel that the ship arrived during mating, so the male whales were more aggressive, and as the whaling ships were doing their duty, the workers on the ship were doing repairs. The hammering is assumed to be what attracted the attacking whale, seeing it as a rival, and wanting it removed from area.

    I was on an Aegean cruise ship with my wife back in 1982. We were on the elevator from the main deck to our cabin when there was mechanical failure. We were trapped for 45 minutes, alone in an elevator on the high sea. After 15 minutes my wife had gone "Full-Karen", demanding the manager and threatening to sue. I tried to reassure her and calm her down but there is just so much one man can do.The long and short of it is, by the time we were rescued, half an hour later, in a state of delirium brought on by the ravages of starvation and thirst, I had killed and eaten the b***h. So I am careful not to stand in judgment of others.

I haven’t a problem with people hunting animals that are in abundance, when done properly, it’s way more humane and less wasteful than the meat industry. However, I do take issue with people killing animals that are endangered, or killing just to kill. A couple of years ago, an indigenous man was recorded killing a poor wombat, very cruelly and slowly with a rock. He had his friend shine car lights on the poor creature to confuse it. This guy was a bloody police officer, and he got away with it, even though it was obvious animal cruelty and was just discarded on the side of the road afterwards.☹️ Who are your people? Do they still hunt?

    Ah yes, the Essex. I remember when I first heard of it and I was in awe that the story of Moby Dick really did have some basis in reality. It was also really nice to find a story where the whale wins for once; without them and their oil we wouldn't have gotten as far as we have as a society, but that doesn't mean I feel good about forcing them to near extinction. Another story you should definitely cover is the story of a whale who, in my opinion, far outdid the Essex in telling the story of a white whale that fought back against the hunters. His name was Mocha Dick. Look him up. :)

    My favorite movie of all time used to be Jaws, until about 20 years ago, when I saw the 1956 version of Moby Dick starring Gregory Peck. It became one of the few times that I saw a movie before reading the book upon which it was based- I began to read the book the very next day after seeing it. The movie quickly supplanted Jaws as my favorite, especially since I realized that they were the same story, at the core. I still love Jaws, and watch it every summer- usually just before or during my family’s yearly vacation on Cape Cod. But I’ll watch Moby Dick at any time of year, and if I’m ever in a hurry to leave the house for an appointment or something, and haven’t yet had time to pick a book to bring, (or don’t have time to retrieve the one I’m currently reading), I will always just grab my copy of Moby Dick from the shelf by the door. I know that I’ll never be bored, and if I do pull that one out, I know that I’m going to read the whole thing again before putting it back on the shelf. I will wholeheartedly encourage anyone who hasn’t read this strange and wonderful book to give it a try- while the basic story is an adventure about whaling, there’s so much more there than many would suspect- history, religion, philosophy, etc. Or if you’re not big on reading, the movie is incredibly good- the writing, the special effects (pre-CGI, of course), the cinematography, and damn- the acting!- it’s so enjoyable. Anyway- sorry to harp so long- thanks for the great video, I found it to be really enjoyable. And, stay safe and healthy, everyone.

    Same, they could have given the turtles water at least esp since they can consume sea water. A year without water is cruel.

    I remember hearing about another whale story about a creature called Moka Dick. Called that because it was eventually killed by an alliance of 5 whaling ships off the coast of Moka island. The whale was known for attacking whaling boats and whole ships sinking several of each.

    I love the novel and have read it several times only to relive the story of the book. It's written in the most sophisticated way possible. It sparked my interest in writing and the sea. I wish I write something that precious like Moby Dick :) thanks for this video 🥺

    Original title: "What Happened When A Whale Took Revenge On Humans?"

  • @philhewett1601
    @philhewett16013 жыл бұрын

    I spent a significant portion of my childhood in New Bedford MA. I fell in love with history of whaling in 19th century. New Bedford eclipsed Nantucket as the whaling capital. Of course I read Melville's "Moby Dick" but, there were so many other stories, both fact and fiction to feed my inquisitive mind. Although I have moved far away from romanticising the whaling era I still have a fascination with those who sailed and lowered the boats to chase and catch a whale or have their boat stove in by a whale's jaws or be licked to the devil by the whatle's flukes. I still go back to New Bedford when I can and the romance of the sea is still there...despite the changes in times.
