The sinking of the whaleship Essex by an enraged spermwhale in the Pacific in November 1820 set in motion one of the most dramatic sea stories of all time. The twenty sailors who survived the wreck took to three small boats, three months later another whaleship spotted a tiny boat with only two survivors after resorting to cannibalising their mates.
