At eighteen, Frank Bullen signs aboard the ramshackle whaler Cachalot, more out of desperation than choice, and finds himself thrown into one of the harshest trades on the high seas. What follows is a three-year voyage from New Bedford, Massachusetts, round the Cape of Good Hope, and on through the Seychelles, the South Pacific, Hong Kong, Hawaii, and New Zealand in relentless pursuit of the sperm whale. Bullen, who rose from ship's boy to first mate over a lifetime at sea, draws on his own hard-won experience to describe harpoon strikes, storms, the tyranny of officers, and the rough camaraderie of a crew thrown together by necessity. First published in 1898 and admired by Rudyard Kipling, who read it aloud to his own children, The Cruise of the Cachalot remains one of the most authentic firsthand accounts of the whaling life ever written — often set alongside Moby-Dick for its vivid detail, but grounded entirely in fact.
