LIFE after the WRECK of the ESSEX Frank Vining Smith (1879- 1967) was a prolific artist from Massachusetts who specialized in marine painting. His impressionistic style made his paintings especially beautiful. This image depicts one of his works—a whaleship, like the Essex, sailing “Out of New Bedford.” Leaving Nantucket Island, in August of 1819, the Essex had a crew of 20 men and one fourteen-year-old boy. The ship’s captain was 29-year-old George Pollard, a Nantucket man, who had previously—and successfully—sailed on the Essex as First Mate. This was his first command aboard a whaling ship. Because so many whalers were sailing from Nantucket, by 1819, Pollard and the Essex’s owners had to find crew members who were from Cape Cod and the mainland. In Nantucket parlance, these off-island chaps were called “coofs.” There were numerous coofs aboard the Essex when she left the harbor on August 12, 1819. Viewed as outsiders, by native Natucketers, coofs were not part of the island’s “family.” Even so, working on a whaler—which, by 1819, was both a ship and a factory—African-American crewmen experienced the relative equality of shipboard life.

LIFE after the WRECK of the ESSEX Robert E. Sticker created an oil painting interpreting the “Nantucket Sleigh Ride,” an adrenalin-producing event which occurred after whalers harpooned a whale. As the injured whale reacted to the trauma, swimming away from its hunters, it pulled the small whaleboat and its crew behind. Copyright Robert Sticker, all rights reserved. Image provided here as fair use for educational purposes and to acquaint new viewers with Sticker’s work. As more and more Nantucketers hunted, captured and killed whales—including sperm whales—whalers had to travel farther and farther from home to find their prey. In the early 18th century, Nantucketers were finding cachalot (sperm whales) in the middle of the Pacific at a place they called the “Offshore Ground.” A thousand miles, or so, off the coast of Peru, the Offshore Ground seemed to be productive. After taking-on supplies at the Galapagos Islands—including 180 additional large tortoises (from Hood Island) to use as meat when they were so far from land—Captain Pollard and his crew sailed the Essex toward the Offshore Grounds.

  • Thar She Blows! Moby-Dick Meets the Digital Generation Spring 2018 Wednesdays, 5–6.30 P.M., SR34K1 (Attemsgasse 25, Basement) Dr
    Topics in Anglophone Literary Studies Thar She Blows! Moby-Dick Meets the Digital Generation Spring 2018 Wednesdays, 5–6.30 p.m., SR34K1 (Attemsgasse 25, basement) Dr. Michael Fuchs 1. About the Course “Call me Ishmael.” Even if you haven’t read Moby-Dick, you will probably know the novel’s iconic open- ing line. Likewise, even if you haven’t read Moby-Dick, you will have a rough idea as to what its story is about—Captain Ahab’s frantic hunt of a white sperm whale. The very fact that people know about Moby-Dick without knowing Moby-Dick testifies to the book’s cultural relevance and power. Indeed, as we will see, Moby-Dick is about so much more than the mere conflict between man and nature. This undergraduate seminar will consist of two main parts: In the first half of the semester, we will engage in a close reading of what many literary scholars and also the general public consider one of the (if not the) “great American novels.” In the second half of the semester, we will look at the presence of Moby-Dick in popular culture. Accordingly, we will watch movie adaptations, read comic adaptations, listen to music adaptations, but also explore some other texts in which Moby-Dick (and/or Moby Dick) plays a dominant role. Since the first part of this undergraduate seminar will pursue a close reading of Moby-Dick, the main objective here will be that students gain a deeper understanding of Moby-Dick and its socio- economic environment; in particular, students will come to understand (and appreciate) what might be termed Moby-Dick’s postmodernism avant la lettre, its rhetorical strategies, its ecological subtexts, its engagement with scientific discourse, and nineteenth-century whale-hunting.

  • When Whales Lit the World Quiz
    When Whales Lit the World Up to the 20th century, men shipped out whaling—risking their lives and spending up to five years at sea per voyage. Why? Because whalers lit the world, providing oil for lamps and for the machines of the industrial revolution—at no small cost to the whale population. Test your whaling knowledge. 1. Many idioms and words we use today arose from maritime jargon. Which of the following is not true? The “slush” in “slush fund” referred to fat scum. “Blackstrap” was a sailor’s nickname for tar. “A good square meal” came into being due to common use of square plates. “Junk” referred to spent rope. 2. There are many whales in the sea, and each had its own peculiarities noted by whalers. Which of the following is not true? American whalers sought out the blue whale, as its immense size provided the most blubber, and therefore, profit. The name of the right whale comes from being considered the best or “right” whale to target for blubber and baleen harvesting. Sperm whales were occasionally referred to as “carpenter fish,” as their vocalizations sounded to seamen like hammer blows. John Smith was disappointed by his discovery of fin or humpback whales in America, as they did not provide baleen or oil. 3. Among seafaring tales, few are as well known as Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Which of the following is not true? Moby Dick was likely modeled after a famous mankiller in the early 1800s. The chapel in New Bedford, MA, does indeed exist.

  • Reader Resources
    NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS Reader Resources In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick Nathaniel Philbrick’s In the Heart of the Sea is “one of the most chilling books I have ever read,” writes Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm. Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction and on The New York Times bestseller list for 40 weeks, this “spellbinding” (Time) “page turner” (The New York Times) tells the true story of the 19th century whaleship Essex out of Nantucket that got rammed by one of the largest whales anyone had ever seen, the whale that inspired Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. But the story doesn’t end there. The ship sank, sending the crewmembers adrift for months as they faced storms, starvation, and disease. Award-winning author of more than ten books, Philbrick “has created an eerie thriller from a centuries old tale… Scrupulously researched and eloquently written, In the Heart of the Sea is a masterpiece of maritime history,” writes The New York Times. “It gets into your bones.” What is the NEA Big Read?

  • In the Heart of the Sea
    THE DISCOVERY OF THE TWO BROTHERS Excerpts from In the Heart of the Sea (All usage of any of this material requires the following) Excerpted from IN THE HEART OF THE SEA: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick Copyright (c) 2000 by Nathaniel Philbrick. First published by Viking. Reprinted with permission. For his own part, Pollard did not allow the horror he had experienced in the whaleboat to defeat him, displaying an honesty and directness concerning the disaster that would sustain him all his life. Captain George Worth of the Two Brothers was so impressed with the integrity of the former captain of the Essex during the two-and-a-half month voyage back from Valparaiso that he recommended Pollard as his replacement. Soon after his return, Pollard was formally offered command of the Two Brothers. Wilkes asked Pollard how, after all that he had suffered, he could dare to go to sea again? “He simply remarked,” Wilkes wrote, “that it was an old adage that the lightning never struck in the same place twice.” But in the case of Captain Pollard, it did. While Nickerson was belowdecks, the ship struck something “with a fearful crash,” and he was thrown to the floor. Nickerson assumed they had collided with another ship. “Judge of my astonishment,” he wrote, “to find ourselves surrounded with breakers apparently mountains high, and our ship careening over upon her broadside and thumping so heavily that one could scarcely stand upon his feet.” The ship was being pounded to pieces on a coral reef.

  • In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick
    In The Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick In 1819, the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with twenty crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than ninety days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, disease, and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival. Why you'll like it: Chilling. Rich. Well-paced. Meticulously researched. About the Author: Nathaniel Philbrick is a leading authority on the history of Nantucket. He is director of the Egan Institute of Maritime Studies and a research fellow at the Nantucket Historical Association. His other books include Away Off Shore: Nantucket Island and Its People, 1602-1890 and Abram's Eyes: The Native American Legacy on Nantucket Island. He is a champion sailboat racer and lives in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Questions for Discussion 1. In 1820, Nantucket was a Quaker town. What do Quakers believe? Was it hypocritical of a Quaker community to embrace such a violent occupation as whaling? 2. Given their proximity to the shipwreck, why did the Essex survivors avoid the South Pacific islands? What factors—historical, cultural, and otherwise—contributed to the decision to take a longer route home? 3. With what you've learned about the people of Nantucket and the whalemen in particular, can you explain their fearlessness in the face of nature? And, conversely, their great fear of strange human beings? How is our world different today? Does this account somewhat for our contemporary fascination with tales of man versus nature? 4.
