There's no place to escape to this is the last time on the level of cannibalism started. we'll detail over the real world whale available. Personal goes up about, lessens the maintenance and awful dead on the whole, though your very gentle of the exam says about yes, A lot of these terms get confused just by agnes a lot of the not commitment as well. I hope you figure out what the answers are exempt. Cheat not for you, but please please accept it.

I gonna be your friends together. What would that's why we're friends I cheat off of you and then you get the answers right and then I pass the test and then I invite you to the party and I let you touch my boob in the dark protected. I'm a woman, great building, I would have experienced by the data we learn about wells. Did it do you have a chance how bout we're way limit at last but gets to the left ever what bed hanging out with in Riyadh bark is finally, finally we're going back to the sea finally, movement out of the sea, for what six eight months now a black beard have we return to the sea and doing blackbeard rain again We discovered things we fund of the pirates obviously were called a mortal berulle right, it was a fine linen yokota. Having had a no, no, no, no, no, no, no just because they blow each other out of pure desperation, any kind of human contact that doesn't mean they're, liberal protests. What time these guys are! Second

and they mean yeah alright, because these guys are. These are some smelly mother, fucker, and you know you come up from the quarters, the main quarters to be like buddy. You got a little. I guess money appeared there that guy swing second rear of the old big leg, but today a whale of a tale, a whale of a tale, whale of a tale, the tragedy of the essex part, one two in the year, eighteen, twenty I can smell it. No amendment bread, shit used infection in the year, eighteen, twenty, an american wailing vessel called the essex went down in the south pacific ocean after a massive sperm whale attacked and destroyed. The ship thousands of miles from even the nearest uninhabited island- and I want to say that was

brenda. Frazier greatest performance is cool, he is nice and it shows you nice guys who were super attract when they were younger and really got payments because of their beauty can also succeed when their older and a whale, that's what you do and what I love is the climax of the film when they cut off the top of his head on one single cream. That is the basis of his skull. Weapons are spent money at the end of it. It was really while was unexpected. Will the twenty one souls aboard the essex sought refuge in the smaller whaleboats, with limited provisions and only a vague idea of how and where they could be rescued. What followed was a sort of donner party at sea? A tale of bad luck, bad visions and bad leadership, fatal error and as a result too,

Third, the whalers who left the island of nantucket a year before died horrific deaths on the water, so fourteen out of twenty one, if my math is correct, what we are really well there's liquid, I'm not sure. Fourteen forty seven times too is fourteen and then seventy three twenty one, two thirds dead, fourteen dead, good job. Maybe you will pay famously the destruction of the essex. Inspired the climate and herman melville moby dick, which has all the fun stuff that millville crammed into the end. After making people read hundreds upon hundreds of pages about psychology in coins an endless fucking game. You love that's tough darkness

I know you love descriptions of dams which, as you think it means sexy legs. It means a whale party. Again is a wailing when two wailing ships meet each other on the slaves or eight hundred. Last time you saw away. We saw another working all that reminds me of another way that I saw. Let's talk about it for forty fuckin pages of the first ever podcast. Let's just say that sperm whale is run in a little low, suckin It was, or you got to keep your special secret, and now I know it's an english major. I know the point of moby dick. I know that it's supposed to mirror the pace of being on a whaleship months, if not years, ass opposed to mere the long periods of extreme boredom that are punctuated by moments of pure fuckin adrenalin markets. This is why whoever wrote moby dick moby himself, I murmured he needed to friends like henry and then to say

her man, arab or your herman. Isn't it one of those books- and I remember that red moby dick or attempted a red moby, dick and least when I was in high school, but I think that a lot of it now it's one of those books, worse like some nerd is always like, but actually it's quite honey. Like I dont know, I actually, I might be wrong about cert. I don't think it's actually quite What actually would you don't on his bad? As the heat is direct, screaming parity of whaling life and play? I dont know my downloads. It is actually written pearl fully to be boring to mirror the life of a wailing vessels that that's what it's supposed to actually do is you're supposed to go. Long, the bewailing vessel along the whaling voyage with them. So I can learn what it's like to be away on. That's why people considered to be so brilliant. They can understand me. How can they reach me? You really want mean gay. I need a held you, but I need them, and I mean I need like five more whale with you,

buddy, herman melville. He finished the end with any luck dilated and they did actually. At the time, be very good and then nightly hand goes. It boy and yet what we consider great until after he died herman melville sons, a guy henny young men, style comedian, who only does racist jokes for the king had they might have been well at. The description long periods of boredom punctuated by extreme action. If that description sounds familiar. Studies have suggested that the ptsd suffered by some way back in the nineteenth century, is very similar to the sort that soldiers have been experiencing since time immemorial. I don't want to be super stupid here, but what about the fucking whales? The whales are going to get any. The whales know that some people- yes, okay. First of all, as we wade into this episode and understand, this can be a lot of whale murder in this episode. But again these are viewed as allegorical creatures, bright lights,

at the time now me long, we re now all waves, q, fun, loving wanna ride when one afoot one of my good right. All everyone says that they're all want to have sex with ease, and everyone is thy. Love see worlds world triple x, it absolutely, but then they go. We talking about moby dick the idea. The whale is the sort of like a search and it's an exhaustive search or something you can quite true. It's a mysterious beast the ocean, its way more of the wave than of the plate, ok, nights, a truly capitalist centre eyes in which your raping the the earth in order for maximizing for an order for maximum profits, and that is that that is willing at its core areas, about making Lou be for factory machine which euro down to the earth really quick. And what do you hear it say? Yes, I'm fine with the hottest years lies in the abbey. You finally said it entering, but when you bring ninety,

century american wailing down to its essentials. It is a fact, it's a dating yet brutal, subject. Gloria see just as the story of the donner party was wrapped up in the frontier exploration of the mid nineteenth century. So too were vessels like the sx, a major part of sea exploration during roughly the same time, although the sorts of, wages taken by whaling. Ships were far more intense. They really were because they all said the same, but the the reading I was doing talked about. How have you or whaler you never knew if you were coming back like the suit- is that shit was gone? Which kind of you know would a lot of seafaring enterprises at the time that was common, but there was also big. Whaling is an extremely dangerous job. It's almost like. We should have figured some miles out we, but we were our economy, was heavily dependent on whales, and so we end up going in getting further and further into this, which is extremely horrible. Horrible job will not to mention your constantly in the Shadow of Bob marley in your, like you know, bob's great,

the way I were abandoned in business, marley clarity, but without my band though whalers bognor, maybe not everyone. We get your rastafarians meanings, one wonders but the functions of kisses Joe ass, his bond markets and what they always drive the story forward, because in all the endless forward momentum in bed, I love that bob marley sung, don't worry, be happy, but not like I'd really like you can check your purpose. Cats. That one's neighbours, while at its core wailing close range hunting on the open sea. It's something closer to a battle. Furthermore, during what is basically a large rowboat and you're, going up against the largest creature to ever exist in earths history, and in time a joint creature with a strong will to live additionally when hunting certain species of whale specifically the sort that the essex was after whalers embarked on the law,

august voyages of any hunter and history, sometimes for years long stretches and, of course, the longer you're out there. The deadlier, the voyage has a chance of being get computers, get lost org. Are you the way they talk about? How like it just company in wind man. I don't have any confidence in a goddamn wind candid, every five second year, it's scary out there, you don't know where you're going, where you're going to do it all in all. We are now they know what direction there had. They know where they're going with a lot. If that's what you're you're talkin if we're supposed to be modern story yeah now, when it comes to the tragedy of the essex, we actually know quite a bit about the voyage, because the first mate wrote a one hundred and two eight page narrative, recounting the tale, not too long after he and a few others were rescued amidst the bones of shit. They were there.

Writing does serve a purpose, and this was the accepted story for almost two centuries, but in nineteen eighty, an old note book written by the cabin boy on the ethics. Nicholson have waited on a couple of chapters. He was very the fair sex, but he did not like to necessarily talk about being a cannibal because he said he did want to spend his old age. if you've been recognized as one but I'd say it's nice because gives you more room at the supermarket. That's for damn sure where he was at when he mean open about the sex. He didn't talk about the sex. I mean you just read it off that Let off the page and now here, since you attitude, I did look at It- will get into the sensibility of wireless who, as yes this no book it,

identified by and then took it wailing expert named edward Stackpole. I know where they all your man like shit touchy, while it was identified as absolutely genuine, ok and nicholson was only fourteen when he went out on the open sea, but he was seventy one when he finally wrote down the store, all we crap. Ok, we lived a long life and her never stories and nicholson's book and the narrative written by first made owen chase they more or less matched up, but Nicholson's account was more warts at all, which gave story a much more human flesh,

it's shadowy, you fucking, laugh devil, or will they ever not be rows of podcast people are going to eat each other. In this episode on this episode, exit exam next episode a whole bunch of great awesome, as far as our main source for the serious goes? We have in the heart of the sea by Nathaniel Philbrick, which is an absolutely fantastic account of the essex tragedy that also features a solid overview of the loud world, a whale and northern ireland. You always have the blow out the blow us discussing hey. Let s think about this free. The blow completely agree are an is anyone name like someone without edi? Is there any

masculine names, and yet we are yet as Robert pollard ever, thereby wilmington climax, there's johnny sucks a lot like a year. Now Wailing was at its height. It was the fifth largest industry in america and extremely profitable. As wrong expert said, you would be surprised that the profitability of these, where he's like you, I'm dying here, sir before the discovery of petroleum whale oil was the highest quality lubricant that humans could produce and it made the best candles, which is no small thing in an increase we industrialized world decades away from electricity smell of this. I forbid you talk about this idea of these. These whale fat candles, jabbering

and, like he's leaving a residue every day, I that's why they were actually so expensive because they didn't leave the residue, that's what they didn't burn as much soot. They were said to be the favorite candle, a benjamin franklin. Oh oh, you can just see him in the shadows, as he turns into the dry cool. better get a random gao, big old, ballet, looking into a mental mirror, use a cool guy. Well you, but in your mind, very frankly, The van Miert, like we only I've been trying to get him off this. Benjamin franklin, it is an ant by your thing for a long time been of little use to twelve years of military old man when he was banned, players shadows, something then When shadow had always you consciously again so we will feel somewhat. Sneakily wailing was the

history that made america powerful and often economically independent enough to separate from england, even if the one customer for whale oil was the english it's kind of like massively psychologically and kind of symbolically, Britain that the thing that allowed america to become what it was at the time period was just the absolute devastation. Every whale we didn't hundreds and hundreds of miles within selling, that or so whale blob who do the very people were in charge of us in the first place, but somehow that kept separate, because it seems like money was the only thing than anybody cared about. Yeah seems like it's a country founded by blubber is there kind of the rigour of the excess is like the wreck of the air. The Edmund Fitzgerald benefit admin, eight fichte. Here

but when it came to the wailing industry in amerika, it had always been centred around the weird little island of nantucket, just off cape god, massachusetts, which, by the nineteenth century, had come to define itself in every spect as a wailing community. In fact, prevailing nantucket miss said that one of the fund There's a man named ec about paddock had been quote: Swann goodbye away and whose belly he found dead, linda mermaid play in god's. First saw this. You stole that from jonah, now they'll, but again allegorical jonah than you couldn't find the devil in a mermaid playing cards for a soul. That's a fantastic! That's, a fantastic image cool! It's good scream! Shall our peace you'd by it of our mark. You went to a casino called the whale, but when it came to the types of wales that originally brought the english to nantucket, they started with what they called right whale.

been, do you know why they were called right. Whales, pop quiz, hot, shot, see we're having fun because, when you're in franklin's dracula, because whenever you were thinking about a candle- and you were getting into the mood with your girl, the whale was a rat there to say in the way can you can you can assign, like a man and wales from the sea to be your gender in your case, grab roundly because they go to the right note. Now it was because it was the right way to kill that's the thomas fucking thing. I've ever known about the ideologists more obvious than you think. That's how they get you and who want to be a millionaire yeah, it's the pact's how they get. Your final question isn't always Difficult, no answer. I'm saying no delay in the mind if you just look at only just open, sweat, metal, sweat ran up and he doesn't load of unbelievable lisbon. Death for

I don't know, runs a jordan. No idea will right. Whales were truly baling whales and their beached bodies have been heard. stood by the wampanoag people of massachusetts for centuries? I once knew a man from Nantucket Who did? Why do what was his thing? What was his fuckin deal, henry genocide? I need a whole group of native americans with their original yeah. You knew him, but in seventeen twelve, a man named captain the spotted new whale off the coast of new on the the block its blubber was superior to that of a right whale. Providing a brighter and cleaner burning light, But what truly made this new whale special was what they found when they cracked open its skulls, guys, thing they thought when it's fuckin head on with what else? I don't know you're right, I'm gonna be dealing with. It shows up the spoon

no upon first, exposing the fluid contained in the creatures had to oxygen. It looks sort of like backer, but as the fluid oxidize. It came to look a lot more like com, so they made the substance sperm. Eddie among all night, and they call the creature the sperm whale. That's how it's got it's stupid, one percent. and dvd watches over several years on. This item was dude ever they cut open the top of a fucking animal knows that you'll saw this animal with a versatile fucking henry makes you think that looks like a really fucking the other. He earlier comment. Fucking do medical sperm whale well, it looks like a whole bunch of guys from the gym or in their reason it is the pleasure I had of watching We need these historic was trying to

again, we are up to me you're the only where they are the children. They call it sees watching academia and he's been like named after the mail. The check in trying to say the terms, a jack litter sperm seti you, I can't figure out and saint andrew with jack, but they can't smile known to allow the laugh. No, knowing their favorite euphemism is similar it was so much dirtier than calm shot, because seminal fluid is what you scrape off a corpse. Oh, please, everyone's alive in the room I yeah. No one could certainly that they named this thing, the sperm whale simply because the stuff looks like come doesn't have to be sexual doesn't like common. That's effigy are there. That is why I can't bring rise. They didn't have as much icing that right to use that group that up there, but there seem to be something about sperm, said

that made writers, weirdly sexual, but not necessarily horny. If you get my main yet, I do not feel that it is at the writing far easier, half hour until in moby dick the product as the narrator Ishmael call the ishmael right. He experienced a sort of ecstasy as he squeezed the lumps of fresh sperm is setting out. the head of the recently murdered sperm whale? This is what Ishmael said, and this is written by herman melville, who worked on a wailing vessel himself. I myself, unwittingly, squeezing my co laborers hands and mistaking their hands for the general globules was because it's like when people say about paper factories they when it smells like four can. I get knows that money. That is that these guys are like that, if you'd as you read about whalers, because we will get into how they render the oil and bolivar, but he said these discussing things the it was worth so much money like I get it.

Does it mean that they have to like take on board, even though in poppy the like doktor pimple, popper is another exam, in eighteen. Seventy four memoir from a whaler named william in Davis, told them luxurious. It was to wade in two parts of sperm seti to squeeze and strain out the fire brows where it will put almost fell in love with a touch of my own poor, lad visitors, the fuckin way order along rivalry they used to because it was so worth a damn. It was the word. Ok can I just at so what are they getting out of the sperm like burma, setting deadlines, the candle,

back, then the candle with their main national centre of a sperm wheels head, was worth more money than any other substance on earth use any. What did they do? They use the blubber from the body as well will get all the blog will give us. I don't know they didn't just like it wasn't like they used to do with the buffalo in the wild west, where they kill it cut off that cut off her and then just what can be the corpse there? No, they used every part of the whale. Actually, that's not true. I learned about it. There were noticed how that's how they would find wailing expeditions later on where they went with, because they find the piles of dead, because they would use chunks of much use they could with the rest of it they d. Oh, no, not every part of the way, but they use the barbarous anywhere in europe. Using the head, you remind you in the whole thing loading play I end of rotting whale meat out an ocean? No, because that sailors didn't like well me this. It was too tough to Amy. I believe that I believe, are they rather eat.

Yes, we'll get to that. So it's like, so they got the scandal that comes from the calm of the brain of the whale and they package it and they put a little spruce and they call it christmas tree and they sell it to your grandmother. Oh not what they think of it. This way, like this before electricity, so this is the only way you're seeing at night. How has been franklin gonna write at night if you d, never scandals yet didn't think about where america would. We then my think about their think about how we, how I Jonathan hawker, we're not had a possible What do we do when we voting benjamin ringlets in fell down, to which I hope will check? It- was all about a real estate reliance very much as well. The thing about sperm wales is that the sperm seti, with a greater written sperm whales were far more aggressive them bailey in wales, and they were found further away from shore, but the quality of their oral was far higher than that of a baling whale. So for many, the reward outweighed the risk of

Was whalers immediately slaughter, every sperm whale they could find within the immediate vicinity of new england, so they had arranged further and further out to kill and find them real, smart. Their problem was it wasn't operable the sale for three months killer whale and sail another three months back with this whole whale carcass, so whale ships were turned into ghoulish floating factories, where whalers could kill butcher and process carcass after carcass. Though the hold was filled to the brim with whale oil just through her just fucking laughed staying, because these goods smells philosophies just absolutely fuck it pure sure will be the worst spell on earth. I can see the amazon smile logo that also looks like a penis. Now that you think about it will not, as I am sure sure yeah might always. I might add that big golf club like swing at the very end of it, goes and a full out. It's actually not a bad design, it that's where the geese bodies of the gatt

yeah yeah, but independent of mine is like it's pointing back at me yeah. This is really weird. It's unfortunate the anatomy here, yeah. Okay, Ben and only then can avail ship return to nantucket after the entire hold was full of whale oil? Oh god they must have really. You must known that they were common. They said the mile away and, as a result, billing voyages turned from seasonal affairs. That may have lasted like nine months at most very gears, long voyages, and likewise the distance travelled, but came almost unfathomable, on Fathom, above all by the late seventeen hundreds nantucket whale ships can be found in the arctic circle, the west coast of africa and the east coast of south america, in fact, that british knee used to complain that everywhere they went expecting to find nothing and nobody they'll find nantucket whalers having the whale

fuck out of the area long before anyone else even thought of going there. I just see a lot, a robust women with with their underwear sickened at the top of their pants. When we talk about this, but I also know that this is because these words, the factories, that this way oil allowed us to have the entire industrial revolution in sight of america. I get the right that went into all of the machines, so they were desperate and the people there are paying for these whaleboats were people like the macy family the dangerous family rights either people that the huge american cortical dynasties, where they are also needing this blubber. Now wailing is like the secret history of america. Ok where's who those nantucket whalers were. They were mostly quakers pacifist when it came to humans, but fuckin demons. When it came the whales and see the net quakers were extreme weirdos because we all know the smaller, the island, the stranger, the folk, absolutely love your stamps dot com has

Okay, let me tell you a story, so it was me and my buddy Paul and we are on the top of his way to his beach down the stretch, and I said or poor,

you can take the whole. You did such a good hard. Yesterday, I'm climbing up in the mouth of many common is ass backwards. No listen, get a sit down than just a story. This is how I have for your private his degree, daddy of which there were wailing groupies there secret societies of young women who swore to only marry a man who had killed a whale, see I'm trying to say. We are used to be a tab where a man whose back version, but these men could be identified I'd buy the pins they wore on their lapel to show that they'd indeed been blooded by blubber. That's always clout always meant it is even had their own toasts, not the life itself, but to good wailing. They would raise their glasses and say quote deaf to the letter long life to the killers, success, the sailors, wives and derision,

tat our way, as are going to be doing dry january, I will be able to tell what you're doing it, because I can smell the monster: and indeed greasy luck was needed because wailing was a deadly business in eighteen. Ten, quarter of the women and men took it over. The age of twenty three had been widowed by the sea in one way or another, and four of the youngest crew members on the ill, fated essex had either lost fathers or were total or and semi widow by the seas. One thing of urban dp by the moon funding, rural, absolutely horrific, would that moon can do so. If you're the lady, they didn't love the guys they

Do there we're gonna die yonder, they get a pinch of how well actually, let's get right into that you're, not really more, perhaps out of emotional necessity or complete honesty. The quicker women of nantucket seem to revel in the fact that their husbands were constantly gone or in some cases, death. As this one public use. Ask me when we're going back on tour is unbelievable. Seeing quakerism the sexes were considered, intellectually equal and the women of nantucket maintained a complex web of personal and commercial relationships that kept nantucket go, and while the men were away typically, a woman could back to see her husband for three to four months every two to three years. They didn't love these men. Like them lubber. Yes, they did you're she's, making blabber might know they're doing their own and their own in their own way that a your you in nantucket was so comfortable with ease and with this arrangement that they even had a song celebrating how great it was to be married to-

when they saw only briefly every once every few years here are, but a few lines with his. browser nobly open and his dark? And kindly I owe my heart beats fondly toward tat. Whenever he is nigh, but where it says goodbye by love, I'm off across the sea. First, I cry over his departure. Then laugh big cause. I free will. It sounds horrible The referee wives wonder why ghazi volunteers draw these trips when it comes down to what I said suck a dick, and I make a great chowder you do yes, indeed, so everyone's happy. No, it's a it's a fun like role reversal. It's all things like yeah, the wife's away for the weekend, but it's the same thing like oh thank god, my husband's gone. I can't stand that motherfucker. I don't think that's a role reversal,

Actually I do can, if you like, maybe comes down to your husband, might be riddled with ptsd from one of the most violent animals that ever existed in the way in which he has to do it, and he is the adjusting gagged, forget gear in the car coggan fucking. Endless wheel is of whale industry that he's stuck on ideas de stds, your start, seeing your wife is oil. Have you ever had a sea transmitted disease? No, I was stung by a jellyfish once they can stay, even when the dead man's. Remember that about me now I have heard that you can stick and you're doing the jellyfish Mohammed. You might have a bit of a

if they're that an earlier verse of that song dead talk about how much I love to spend whaling money. When MIA bennett is gone, I mean getting you're in it, for the blubber yeah you're gonna know what's going on and when it came to being truly independent. Nantucket women were quite forward thinking for the nineteenth century, reportedly a common, found in the bedside drawer of nantucket home was a six inch plastered. Hilda euphemistically called a key. It holds a here at home, I'm just so happy that they didn't go. They didn't like. Oh, I don't know exactly too much is still there was a just fides align its bold hilda guess again and it is not because white hey you wanna, come like replace him. No idea they give us a four inches.

I do feel a little bit normal war, but also remember it's made of plaster and it's going to be very rigid. So if you get like a plaster eight inch or in there, that's going to be too much because the good thing about the eight inches when you get the rubber ones, you know they're, flexible, but plaster room for ever seen one he's at home, but that we do this big old. crazy head on it, but she was expecting a lot good. Now only she had apparently was good the according this one woman. She says that she felt it was mostly myths about the he's at all, but I think that just because she, got one locked up in her understand why anybody near? Why would it be myth people masturbate all of time, but when it came to the way? theirs. They lived, as is tradition for romanticized american professions, of your absolutely fuckin awful lives of hardship, exploitation, injury and frequent death. All well being spected to fulfil half a dozen areas of expertise whalers

eighteen hundreds were sailors, hunters, butchers, explorers factory workers and merchants all same time, and yet wailing was one of the lowest paying jobs in america. Why? Because Would the amazon logo all went up at the top? Every all money went up to the top in every one of these ships were bought into the role like time shared buildings. There are owned by families at them when higher up the crews. So it's like all The money is getting more more diluted, it's basically the way american corporations are run today right wailing ships were the blueprint it all began with mate wailing ships during the industry's peak in the mid nineteenth century, ordinary seamen on whales ship earn. Just about the same as women working in textile factories in massachusetts, two thirds of what they would have made if they just move to Boston as unskilled labour thing, you don't get the story now. I guess not.

put into perspective the cabin boy who wrote the more. The sinking of the essex was paid, the modern equivalent of thirty five hundred dollars for two years of light. That's it for two years of labour. Other room and board was technically included in the deal Donovan the borders damn ship that smells like scum to be thankful for it. Now concerning the essex, it was a relatively old ship when it set off for it's last voyage and eighteen nineteen it had been service for twenty years, and had gone through numerous repairs, but the ship owners who should have long since retired at they set it out again and again, while also referred. to do any repairs until they were absolutely necessary, didn't care when you love the find out that this boat that you're going I spent three years on to go: hunt one of the dangerous most dangerous animals in the water for for everybody else's money, not yours, yeah, but have you found out that the guys that owned it? Because this was the attitude of the xx were just being like

I think we can squeeze one more trip added security being on a plane and hearing that there can be like wait. Think we get one more I mean that's literally. The story of leaner skynyrd are like we're going to have to repair this when we land we'll fix it up or take up it's, like god, dang setting themselves up to eat each other apparently, and why, as we said, you know a vessel like ethics was sort of like a modern corporation in which people could own shares of the ship and most men who bought whale ship share, as own shares and multiple ships. So if one she went down nobody, but twenty people are dead, but they never you get. that's no big whoop again obey work as you, it's now you, but what that map was also like mara corporations. The shareholder was king, corners were caught and costs were kept to a minimum, and besides it's old age, the essex was severely under provisions when it set up, because

accepted practice to nearly starved sailors for years at a time to maximize shareholder prophets re good for them, because, like exxon mobile to better just like an oil gas oil business, but since shit These flows down hill, the whalers of nantucket, also took every opportunity to fuck over anyone who came in from the outside to join the wailing lie. I get it man you do. You want to be part of this. Its chordates, like it's kind of the overlooker cold. Like me, quality. Now you want to do this thing that sucks Want me to show you how much did so because it sucks I had set for me So now it's gotta such double for you write. It doesn't why we know why you volunteered do I got you I might lamb? Are you running away from the law of another the sea now book it to a here and a second green inexperience? Sailors were called green hands and nantucket children would actually weight on the dogs for green hands to arrive, so they could make fun of them for their poor life choices,

when they showed up all you like going out on a stupid, boateng, the fuck you going to be dead, you'd die out. Then why are they doing cause? It's? You know it's fun and furthermore, once the green hand arrived on the island, everyone around him talking in nautical terms, all the time. In a bizarre accent that says I instead of oil and chirp, instead of sharp, all still using the and thou because our bunch quakers. Yes, it's a really big group. They were idiosyncratic kiss. Are they order. People word order. Yet in every word I wipeout word or was the lack of ordinary. I don't think there's also boston word order. Ers, then why not a boss is wider. Warder, I think, is also naturally as well and are now working again. the latter

if every one of these counties were going to get forgetting that every one of these counties are printing, your from your grum bip count get so mad. When I worked at burger king, the general manager bill gale looked like a whale herself, she said warder spray. Always always moving forward, always moving back to fast food employment forward and also the nineteen eighties logo burger king in the ninety nine. These logo extremely similar serve up. Guy gets rheumatism, but once a green hand went to sign up for a voyage. No one told them about any of the pitfalls and they did this. As a rule for example, a longer voyage did not mean more wages and all experience dealers knew that maria sailors signed up for a fraction of the voyages net profit. It was called a lay, but they never told the green

and because the green hands wouldn't sign up if they knew that no one would because you told about what you catch the eye to there's no guaranteed pay. You have to go so you could go out there. Have your hands torn from your Bobby by rose, come back with nothing and pay and could be paid. Nothing. Actually you had come. In debt, yeah, a lot of guys went out on their first voyage, a lot of came back and found that they had been paid either the equivalent of pennies a day or they would be a hundreds of dollars in debt to the wailing company. your contracts- and if you can read if you've been around real, fast learner within five minutes. Now I mean it seems like they did it for the experience anyway. Now some of them dead, I mean herman melville dead. Did he actually whale yeah yeah. He was. He was obsessed with it yeah yeah. He actually went out on a whale yeah. He brought moby dick from one hundred percent experience. Is that right yup? the thing is that you know they had to keep the green hands in the dark because everybody except the man at the bottom needed to be in on this.

system they knew to exploit. Somebody for the whole thing were absolutely no. When it came to the essex it was exe considered a lucky ship because it had lasted through so many voyages and, as we will do, as you may or may not know, we talked a little bit in the pirates episode another episode. The sailors were extremely superstitious extremely. Yes, it was a large ship at eighty seven feet. last several voyages had been captain by a man named Daniel Russell whose since been promoted to captain the new and larger ship called the aurora. That meant that rustles first mate, George pollard, I said Robert Pollard earlier, I think that's the guy guided by voices. I might be. Oh, I didn't know what george pollard had earned a command, so he was promoted to captain of the essex and his harpoon or a when chase was moved up to first mate for what was unbeknownst them that ships last voyage, chairman owen, chase the ultimate fucking doom old sumer yeah, he was just ass. He was literally. This is the equivalent woke hocker. Ever

Jesus I think you can only listen to your intern so much, I guess so all right, so they got a promotion. They did to him was the other men on the voyage. When you had your normal crew of youngsters aged fifteen to eighteen for kids named Thomas nackerson bars, hey ray, that's great and it's a barzal a raise a wonderful name or it's either bars layer, bars, allies, elia, barzal a like barzal. I know he also had Charles Ramsdell and owen coffin yeah conference, the goth one. But he was at the nantucket coffins There was therefore there is there. Ladies supporting the coffins were actually well Spected family on the island, where the coffins there were the starbucks, the starbucks or a huge foam, and they are not of the starbucks of the starbucks family. They are inspired by the de moby dick picolet. Better yes, there are books is not the last named howard schulz, secreted stir he had at night. Yes,

our book is a character. Mine resident, but you always be my perhaps really great. Yes, no, it's the coffin family and I'll. Tell you one thing: jerry's naser. started little diseases now, I'm like our queen. Please support busy. My boy anyway. It's nothing! Nothing like bury sharp door, you can imagine anything The thing is, I was first name with a funny last night. Anything anything I'd be finding any of the words about a young, too could bog Also when I did what one of the researchers I was looking at, because the two hundred year anniversary of this king of the essex was november. Twenty twenty and I was watching oh poor, nantucket historians, perry, frail and in mass, very masked twenty feet away from each other

Trying to be interesting is very difficult, but one of them kept saying like oh what he was, and he did some research into the family connections on nantucket and he's like you know, it's interesting that everyone, because of its history, guess tat in his island of seven thousand people who everyone was causing here. All right were also owen. Coffin was the cousin of captain george parlor, echoing, ok, and that's it four nantucket hers. A whaling voyage was the first step towards a long and profitable career so low. You made your way to a mates position, or if you are lucky a captain yeah I mean it was somewhat interns. You know at least the nantucket hers is. There was a way path forward buffer everyone else on the ship. A whaling voyage was a desperate last resort to you did not want to end up on away.

Yet all, but in many ways that the rest of amerika was not wheeling. Ships were just the tiniest bit more egalitarian just a bit, and it was one of the few places where a black man could be paid the same as white man, although he very little very little so couldn't expect to be treated house or fed the same, but he could at the very least, be paid the same principles because of the quakers view because they were anti slavery, yeah very much so, but that is to say seven black sailors signed up for the last voyage of the essex, the last crew members to do so, with the standard number of twenty one min aboard the essex set sail for what was supposed to be a fairly routine? Two year long whaling voyage in august of eighteen, nineteen george pollard was already well acquainted with the essex having spent four years aboard a second and first mate, but this was his first voyage as captain. Likewise, it was owen, chases first voyage as first mate and if all went well, pollard could be promoted to captain of a new ship following this voyage and chase could be put in command of the air

we gotta be careful. This is why you can't train him. Sorry, fernando. We can't train the producers too well, because all they're looking they're looking in the back of your head, the back and head wondering. When do I get to have the head and you I get in get over there I know it enters. The great job is one of the co. How these questions during your doing it is that I think he's done it's over while he's right there. It's happened here this here ever the usa staring at your keys staring at the back of my head, as we were all going to fatal error, and so after the captain gave his speech on the first day of the vote, age, as was a guy just so you know we're looking for work. Number one there's you're going to see today. Aware of your yeah curious is that oil is a bigger than you, it's a while ok number, two, let's keep the forts

top of the boat. I don't need everybody far in the bottom of the boat, because already gimme smelly enough, ok, good team already regretted. Can I get you a dollar dolphin yeah. Thank you, thank you and you show it to me. We'll all have fun, have watching scream screams here, ray well a dolphin speaking of which they actually liked dolphin meat a little bit more than whale meat, but they didn't really like eating dolphins that much it was actually very hard kill a dolphin because they had only the harpoon to use and a dolphins hide is very thick. Now, that's ready to use dynamite. Yeah I've seen the very sad documentary set up where the essex pushed off with high hopes and big expectations from the people. Charge high stakes. Why? Why? The hope that we will, because pollard is he's it's a very old ship. Ok he's been promoted a captain, but he knows I gotta get this ship is. There is no future on the essex, so I got to do a great job on this.

so I can get promoted to a bigger ship and cases they like. Ok, this ship, maybe has to voice, is left in it. If I get promoted this next time that I can also get from it. So these all these again. They collaborate ladder guys are desperately trying to climb unlimited you one thing about being a sea or use you that care. You see it's in front of a person's knows you pull a bank or back will adapt jack of jobs by aids. It is also cannot over estimate just tied in overseas, how how valuable whale oil was not yet, and so every single time they were trying to get this shit. It was always a high priority, never that for the people of top, but for the people on the bottom, the green hands. The voyage was immediately a nightmare most found themselves, so seasick they were ready to die.

Have you ever been seasick, yet its fundamental, my least blew up. Half of my face gets waller. I went on our expedition to go. Fishing o is horrible ma, but that was right up until they got what was called the nantucket cure to cure sea sickness show me does not go your sexual no well at the sick, man would be made to swallow a piece of pork fat tied to a string which would then be yank back now, think about the way is dynamic. Is this make you feel better yoke? I guess I guess, but if that didn't work, you know they do what they do it again and if they did work they do it again. again and again and again to the person, stop being sick or just started line about feeling better. You know I got your best. I've ever had. Thank you so much I'm the one with, but I think it's more, the latter melick most will ships of the era. The essex took an indirect route following the gulf stream with the atlantic. Theirs

No one trying to go down towards the southernmost tipp of south america. The train pop around over into the pacific swing around keep or yeah, but this route took them. The way to north africa, where they plan to stop off the azores silence for provisions before sailing back towards cape horn, but three days out. Nantucket the essex was ravaged by a storm that almost sank. Yeah you back in that there was a lot of because I feel it there is. There was a couple of other bad omen says they talked about how there was a time when there was a story there's something else that happened on the island, someone solid a weird: he asked the cryptic. They saw weird, thank you. These heavy water dragon or somebody said that there was a good voice eating of what are they not only monster luxury it? Why they talk about the into a but again so superstitious. Everyone was like immediately skittish about the boat, leaving condemn without this weird harbinger of numerous. Now, that's, not a sea monster. That's my wife, my thank you very much for your stuff, but even though pollard had been on the essex for years,

up when the storm blew in and because low hesitated, giving the order to turn the essex was almost tipped over and who whaleboats on deck were destroyed and the ensuing chaos demoted promotion literally the bite. It noted this could even have so uh when hit it. He just did it. He fucked up, he choked and fucked up he started there. I used to eat, steer the ship the wrong way when hit it straight on. It went completely sideways and they had a week for wind if it was gonna come to come and pick em that is the major could otherwise you're. Like he's one of the thing notes I read it was like well, the best part is that when the ship sideways at least It protects you from the wind stuck inside of a site like everyone's grip and hanging from the sides of the border and the cook had a like dive out of the kitchen, because all of a stone and should just fuckin flew to the others are rushed and the poor fat curve

What am I supposed to do? Joe was sponsored by better help. I know it's hard for me.

The essex was still see worthy after the storm, but it was certainly weakened, but the loss of two whaleboats was a big deal, because a ship needed three whaleboats and to despair. If it wanted to have a successful journey and sure enough captain pollard rightly too, I did that the voyage was a bust and a return to nantucket for replacement boats and repairs is needed only three days out. Yet what the fuck indifferent gyp back, but his first and second mates disagreed saying that all that could be taken care of. Once they arrived in africa, it is. This is why I say the intern turn from Hell. Radios Owen casey worked his way up, but they basically sat and they would like. You ve turned round. We need we ve been weakened. We're we're only three days a week Go. We ensure background it's a carnival group, but it is the literally the equivalent of the new.

weird nipple baby hire you bring to your ceo sphere right. You got the twenty three year old son of your vp who's got a cell phone in hand looking at twitter he's like, but the thing it. How do you think twitter, or by bringing you can forget the sailors young. So you mean I know you might be captain but, like I got here, I just arrived. I'm so I mean I know a little more I'm angola and worldwide on the new direction. How many viable here I think you need to think about what you're doing and we need to actually do the opposite of what you're doing. I know you're in charge, but still up to the captain to make the right decision you're right, guess it is, and you know it's not the worst because you know the morale of the sailors. It's pretty low there. Three days out of a two year, Joe and they ve already almost die, everything's all fucked up yet to mention if they went home there with the amount of lesbian action they see. enter their home. I was expecting you for another year and two years ago we were doing a maiden crisscross, you know, and so pollard was sway.

By his men for the first, but certainly not the last time to make the wrong decision not predict When they got to the azores islands, there were no spare whaleboats to be purchased. Likewise, when they continued south the cape verde islands, they only found that there was, but one spare whale boat to buy, and so after trading there starving hogs that were almost skeletons for half a barrel of beans workers. Actually, they trade, the beans for the haug wit as they did a bunch of pigs or the sultan. Now it would, I gave unwearied say again: yes, we're out of the pigs they got all these starving hogs on board that continued on their journey towards south america, one boat down, but then halfway tween rio de Janeiro in Buenos aires three months, into the journey, the crew. A cry from the look out for the first time. Oh my god, it was all those angry birds try to kill debate Now we know when the crew heard either thou she blows the now she

reaches or that those fluke we're all perfectly reasonable signals, meaning hey, there's a whale. Everyone on the ship jumped inaction, cargoes flukes as a real good thing to see even a guy talking about, because you know what a whale tails when you see, though, with the lack of funding to say instead of cars, like you know, it's disgusting to say, like oh look at that will fail. We go the argos food cargoes flow. When you see underwear sticking out yeah interesting with the men prepare the whaleboats with harpoons and the harpoons will sharpen one last time as the ship overtook. The whale and once the essex within a mile, three whaleboats, were launched, one commanded by the captain, one by the first mate and one by the second mate, where they were once sailors, they were now hunter yeah. Do you put that other? Had? I know it's kind, it's fuckin crazy. What you have to do to hunt a I mean it would be funny if they were just like hunting chris Christie because he's a big fat.

he again always boardman aboard and the best most cordial journalist, most current member courage, member, I remember every day read it never is That is what we mean by a big fourpence, now eat elbow competed to see who could reach the whale first, but they also to make sure, did not scare the whale away by making too much noise. So the captains of the whale boat had quietly cokes could Joe the men in a way of its both aggressive and oddly too, little bit cheerleading here ample and Henry. I won't I do this verbatim. Please do this, for babies is literalism, for it do, for Heaven's sake spring the boat, don't move you're, all asleep c c actually lie scold Scott. I love you,

I do fellows yes, yes, I do I'll do anything for you. If you are my heart's blood but drink on me. Take me up to this whale only this time for this once and for all ST peter St Jerome, ST stephen, ST james and John, the devil on two sticks. Kettering me uproar. Let me taking them If we re missionary goes on, go on all most hand, was stand up. Starbuck don't have your eye on that way. You put one hand over the end of the pole. Now now look out dirt, dark man, dude china flirt with made me feel this way. Men get very close in the little boat said, on the first and killing a whale on the essex voyage. A twenty year old named Benjamin lawrence through the harpoon, but when it made contact with the whales, hide the once docile sixty four long. Creature became a massive deadly monster, who'll with just one swipe of his tail. A sperm whale could destroy

roy, a whale boat and indeed when the harpoon whale got aggressive. A second whale came up from below and smashed in an entire side of the boat. With one sack of details, we, I wonder: if glaring ended whales, call it go he's going need no, no, they were just trying to fuck lives. None of the men were injured, but both whales were lost days later after the whale boat. repaired. The lookout cited whales once again, there's these common white frothin dream cream and the boats were launched catching up to the whale harpoon was successfully lodged. The whales thick hide and the creature took off dragon the boat on what called nantucket sleigh ride, leisurely harpoon in and then the whale goes running. And then you fall with the cardiff. The being dragged by the rail and the new. Slowly, but surely

really pull yourself next to the whale by the roman another really happen. That happened in the first got of war and a thick read that region we should fear Israel, education, the kids are teaching the kids, you also get. Did you get radicalized by an e girl trying to get you to join the airforce yeah, I'm going to play the new call of duty, modern warfare, but I've got to flip my entire political, though yeah even to join. You have to give money to someone I'm starting to think they had weapons message maybe you better- go over there for freedom, weapons of mass destruction, yellow cake track. I remember HANS his forty, the travelling at speeds of up to twenty miles an hour. A whale could drag a twenty five foot whaleboats by rope and harpoon for anywhere between twenty minutes and twenty four hours

depending on how much the whale felt like putting up a fight once the well tired itself out, though, the crew would hold themselves within stabbing distance and ere the real carnage, would begin the onions find gnarly so little. The whale at this point is exhausted. Near death will merely its tired for certain its tired. He asked with a harpooner and the mate, but trade places, so the maid could take the honour of the kill and using a twelve foot. Killing lance with a pebble shaped blade the mate which stab the whale again, and and define the whales, vital organs. Nay, was not an exact science. May I say: aren't they always in the same spot? and very large and mean it sets a thing. It's not like you're dealing with like a bare like dealing with an animal that can be anywhere between forty and law, you know and that's the thing is that it's also one big to institute is yeah just fishing around

wouldn't it may be important ones yeah. I will. The goal was to find a group of coiled artery, in the vicinity of belongs because the head was too hard to stab the brain in the heart was buried deep within the whale. But when that coil punctured. Everyone knew because an author, Nathaniel philbrick words, the whale spout, would transform into a fifteen to twenty foot. all dies or of gold locked outside nightmare nome stupid, but I didn't have got killed yeah. This would be met with a I have chimneys if that meant that the whale was drowning in its own blood and would soon be dead yeah. We will believe that a chimney is a fire moment, though oh absolutely or buffalo, wild wings yeah. The whale would then vomit and die in a pool of it's own blood in puke in a nasty drawn out death very sad near now, once the where was dead,

three whaleboats would latch on in tow the forty to sixty tonne carcass back to the ship at a rate of one mile and our other did. Usually they had expected till the creature about five miles, but once they got there, if the entire crew turned from hunters took butchers and of fully factory workers, the where the new ass, your departure. You know what I am unless I have a new, had got these David busters gaps. That say I love being It said that whalers or on a very dicks last year, access or azora, but also david bastardize. Every time I go there is so many guys we're had to say I love being in a car yet different, though I think you're just sell them like smirk will also speaking of debts. You know cluster committed suicide.

yeah? Well, that's why you ve done your word of fun, can't learn about who know what we're supposed to do, but when it came to the first whale Well, then, the ill fated voyage, the essex, the corpse, was tied to the starboard side. Pieces of blubber were cut from the whale and lowered into the blubber room below decks. Where would eventually be processed into oil once all the blubber was stripped. The sperm whales head, which constituted a third of the sperm whales, total links, was cut off and hold. to the ships deck pouring out blood and go it's just like eight as it allows job losses grow, really poppy a lot of plop loudly, and they also built these giant kilns. They were on the boat right to the boat. They had these like brick, ovens in the center of the weather, reuse,

boil the blubber into the oil gangway artisanal pits we have had is definitely from fin to table. India will get to the boil into the blubber here in a second, but once they brought the head a whole would be cut out at the top of the skull and men were climb inside the head buckets to remove all the sperm is they could get their hand. The feeling of I love this smell of spurned I need to literally get right in there man. They were just that they will just be scoop it out with your hands cause. They want to get every little bit of duncan's for splunk and for sperm I spilled four spunk there yeah I have this punk submitted after that. The men would return to the body and prove the whales intestinal tract with a lance searching for another substance called amber

Well, that's gonna be fulla shit yeah. Why not? The bags negotiated stopped their due in the worst possible ship, a guess what it was used to make? What ruby Her feel you know I know, but was it though, whom it was the whale pooped amid the perfume? I know it wasn't my whale pope. It was something like it was some sort of disease ass. If I was made out of a disease, basically, I think what it was. It was sort of like a few crisis All it works. Flammable subsidy have a dull, grey or blackish collar. If you hurt, like kind of few crusted out, somebody's arteries, elect fatty arteries, unhand like if you yesterday and the maid perfume hindsight. I suppose you is that it is used to allow the sent to endure much longer. How they may figured out a new way to do that, get values. It is sometimes the dogs love it. and it was worth more than its weight in gold wow and the whale blubber within be boiled in a process. Call

trying out the whale see when the blubber was boiled into oil. It produced cracklings That's not bad! You need a crackling. I'm here Only I love a crackling, but they would use they would skim off the cracklings and use it as feed. WU, meaning the whale was used to burn itself, could burning yourself. Yeah one re hand describe the trying is having the quality of a quote: indescribable uncouth, nus yeah israel that that yeah, I feel that it is indescribably uncouth gambles, isn't that bad I mean they just. Could they gotta cook up the whale they gonna? Prepare it there are also doing that on a deck that is covered in half an inch blood, there's guts every hark as that is strong. Everyone is covered in the shit for days, at the time. Actually, that used to be a trick that they play on the green hands. Is that what the green has that smelled so awful and it was so

Well that the greens would change the closed after every shift, but they didn't know is that your closer ruined, if wore them during the trying right? So what they would have to do is by more clothes from the ship's canteen and that's how the green hands gotten a debt to the ship. Even came back. Her business on business and business on businesses as far as before, to make a bloody, no angel. For me, the little green and additionally, the smelly sick, greasy black smoke created by this, process smelled and herman melville's. Words quote, like the left wing of the day of judgment, an argument for the pit yeah. But then again, as you've said, we talked about a little bit earlier, some of the more experienced whalers would the go to where they say love of this man, because that means the expeditions going. Well, okay, well, this process went on continuously in shifts for three days after it was all done. The deck would be mop.

up, the corpse would be cut away and the search for another whale would begin a new. Now, by the time the essex had killed this first well, they already been out at sea for four months, a poor showing by measure get one whale four miles was now. This was disconcert to everyone on board, because remember, whalers made a share, not a wage and the It was an over until the hold was full of oil and there were still guaranteed exit to their contract nationals. Eight could be out. They are out there until the whole is full actively killing their product, with no ability like regenerate as well as always, it concerns again harder and harder and harder, as was wrong, as was incorrect because was poke honest and chargeable Why don't? They won t had sex with a six year old man young? He was twelve of the time you liar action figure, though at warmer birthright or not in the end, that's in the act where she finally gets her come up and see if you can also by the guy fox masks

martin targets, a three eyes wandered sharply ironic and as our boss, but in a board game available target target their work. I absolutely verified the OIE complaints have had is from people who are too stupid you're at you mean us yeah, glittering eyes. They explained to us we're like. I can't do that people have lived together. Now. What's the essex finally rounded cape horn at the southernmost tip of south america, they made their way up the coast of Peru, where they finally had some luck and they began killing whales at a clip of one every five days. but just as things were, turning around the essex met with the aurora owned by the same company and captain by the former captain of the essex Daniel Russell. Now Russell told polar that here. I heard about a spot over one thousand miles west of south america, where another captain said that he'd fairly quickly filled a bishop with two thousand barrels of oil

competition is make any not because he just wailed it. It's like going. It's like trying to go on a Jeanne after the poison Jos, one though jackpot they're, all this one's lucky your fuckin more me. I remember that when you don't winner, the slot machine you and whale blood day stop as well. I mean the reasoning was somewhat sound. Is ok! This guy killed. These whales last november its may, when their talk in each others may have eighteen twenty. So you this november, and then you can get the spoils. What are you doing things there are at this time? There are millions of wales, the ocean, so like there's like fifteen. I believe that everyone in wales, I will say, rabies you know, I feel for the marine biologist. So they talk to all of these documentaries because each one of us, literally, The verge of two things are always so my lovely smells of their life no enemy spook. Only really reproduce every five years,

yeah, it's horrible. It's just that two words like, so they don't really repopulate that fat. No! No. They really don't look good. The sperm whales we now know have a specific language for each family each event, happen names for showing great. I do believe very sad that sad will. This new spot was called the offshore a ground and in reality it was more like fifteen hundred miles off the coast of south america. These guys really asked made a lot of shit, the big estimations from what we know The offshore ground is roughly the area around tahiti and easter island is the south pacific. So taking a chance, captain pollard decided a head into fairly untested waters because they were only halfway. Filling their ship with oil after having been away for well over a year, and really this is again not the worst decision. Had it not been

for one, fateful away finely dominated for and ask now before heading the offshore ground pie. Lord ordered his men to stop off at the galapagos islands, so they could farm for tortoises because true to form, whalers were a fucking virus that consume and everything in their path. In the pursuit of oil Also had fun because there are also their own little bowls yeah that is sort of how to use it, but it's really fucked up did the turtles because they were like they had this idea of, like turtles don't eat like he just said this has had this kind of like and see the gulf that only a total. You can just keep an eye because any political does. He feel that two things the turtle actually can go a year without or a galapagos toward us can go a year without food or water because their metabolism is extremely slow but to them their. Furthermore, whalers this met turtle

don't eat hurdles don't wealthier year. You will tortoises they weighed between eighty and a hundred pounds. Some could be as heaviest four hundred pounds was the massive tortoises up. and sailors who loved eaten galapagos shorter, It's what we consider to be like one of the most precious animals in existence. One they're like this is tasty when we cut off the head and throw the rest of it in the garbage. what you'd, aided henry you need a tortoise right now I dont like turtle. I've Will I get? No if you loved it yeah sure I'd be great I'd, love to point them out, but I did you, but I ate digs growth, whether you like it was the turtle just competing with the dolphin in the whales. Eternal me this problem, much better turtle me his top because it was lean and tasty. You will oblige me loop nick, you carry again they suit now and their necks are actually full of fresh water. So that's an extra source water needs of all these brave little straw who they are

the girl belgian and they are also a volcanic environment, fog, bank and so the essex, crude disembarked and collected one hundred and eighty tortoises for the rest of the voyage should imagine the ella his fucking crew of whalers. Just All too often, the galapagos islands with a bunch of sex and just get in all the turtles taken all the turtles away that they stand them like boulders and the hall and then the turtles they couldn't stack biggest littered, the In dat, tortoise is kind of fun to have a bunch of turtles around there. But just somebody was like that's my turtle. You don't must be, and I can guarantee that a couple of 'em been like that ma friend yeah, of course, because there's doing nothing for weeks at a time of bullying and our turtles yeah just talk to the turtle you by hungary, hunger turtles know you play. Play you hungry turtles. Did they thought that they were not hungry, hungry dirt snow will not content with depleting the tortoise population of the island. One of the Harpooner lit some

wishes on fire is a prank. Elegant has been my eyes. I thought I thought I'd leave one thing alone out. I could set fire to that as well. My unclouded that July fourth, one day an accident. What are you little bunch bodies through a grenade boulevard, bush survivors in wisconsin. You are setting fire to hold tat everything, not exactly. I wouldn't be eighties at this fire burned the entire island me, I get the entire island in flames and it was still a blackened wasteland years later, never fully recover still to this day kind of fucked up, but it's like thirty years before darwin today we want yet by the time Darwin got to the galapagos islands, not only had whalers completely just decimated the population, but san franciscans had also discovered the turtles of super tasty. So there was this pipe. wine from the galapagos islands to san francisco, and it was you that I will get the budget turtles, bringing them actually slaughter and all of them on the fucking sabre unit, turtle and spin, like you guys, have

these guys have kicking utilise work. You have so many other more delicious meets in us how the living? What did you find me I'm covered in April gives rise. All everything, don't you we don't leave me leave me alone veiling thousands of miles to grant. All of you dying, we should give the this disgusting wormy me ready to go, get a bit, isn't my grable dinner of the sea this now, to give you some perspective on how time worked on a wheelchair The essex heard about the offshore ground in may in set course, but they didn't actually arrive there tell, as I said november, of eighteen twenty. This is actually perfect because that was the month in which sperm whales were supposed to arrive its presume that it was a breeding ground by then they were one thousand miles from the galapagos islands in hadn't seen a whale in weeks which raise tensions even further yeah, but

only the lookout spotted a whale and first mate. Owen chase was the first to launch his boat, but before he could throw a harpoon, the whale surfaced underneath his boat with enough forced to throw chase into the air, and the creature escaped further. Increasing frustration aboard the essex and especially further increase, frustration in owen chase, but should the turtles laughed generally about energy four days later, we'll spouts we're once again, but while the other two boats managed to harpoon whales, Owen, chases whaleboats got smell, by whale tail, o anger that even knocked out of the hunt again chase hurriedly repaired his boat by very quickly and very loudly nailing canvas over the whole. He returned to the phrase this was a cap

his idea of yes, because he was the first mates idea yeah. He was like. Let's just fix this up real quick way. We gotta get him back out there, so, instead of properly fixing, it will just nail this piece of canvas tool which got interesting. I haven't seen such a large whale tail since I was at the outlet mall in new jersey. Now, behind the helm of the essex was cabin boy, Thomas Nickerson, all of fifteen years old, because when everybody lot like when the whale ships launched. Almost everyone on board were on those ships. Only three people were left behind to keep the ship I mean that's where you want to be, they want to be left behind and that's what you very much very much so yeah will Nickerson later wrote that off the port bow, he saw very suddenly the largest sperm whale, anyone on board and ever seen and eighty tongue via that eighty five feet long as big as the ship itself yeah, I name because we had sort of you know we had run

through a lot of the bigger whales already, because this was a bull wales, a large male whale, and that we ve discovered at this point that we have been searching for these big whales. Gazettes would fill up the pole. Let's we feel that the whole thing so little about zillions of documentary was a bit of it. I tell you he wanted to, but so this was a rare find. An this thing was specifically extremely on the fringe of sperm whale site through whose very kind was almost like at first you're, like yeah, with a little oil, then eventually like, oh no, they gotta deal with it way now. Wales rarely attacked ships, usually opting instead for the whaleboats that were obviously trying. kill it. In fact, in nantucket lore no whale had ever made a direct assault on the main ship, or at least no one had ever return to tell the tale of a whale attacking a ship, but this

was no tell me it's a whale tale about a tale of a whale. Are your very aren't good relations? Limerick, but this was no ordinary encounter. This was the wail of a happ, the book, You know about the mortgage, the bullet, nearly that guy get instagram influence on how I know there is a gap in ahab. It's a moment, a literary illusion. Yeah you can, you know, detail the wail of a cab governed. tattoos, turf wars and e t you're more. Like aren t really, my hip was swimming beneath us so the water, with its head directly pointed at the essex the whale dove and came back up there five yards away and with a tremendous crash it ran the side of the ship settings. Dealers and tortoises pliant across the then maybe one day for the door that it is willing to come.

can I get a break out here, the way Well then, swam under the ship and bump the bottom hard enough to knock off the false keel. Then it resurface near the rear at the starboard quarter. Now, at this point, first mate owen chase actually had a chance to harpoon the whale and may be saved the ship, but he the two o n, but that was actually the right decision, because the tail was dangerously close to the ships road and if the runners were damaged, everyone would be fought and digital knowledge hell, but this will probably didn't attack the ship on purpose, conventional knowledge, whales, don't attack ships, it's ok, well I'll, just get. It then time around. We thought about maybe removing those huge, perfect wailed tits from the bottom of all that I don't know, I wouldn't recognisable without delay, as whale really was too fond of you, ve probably did not exist.

Would they probably what it was doing was their fucking I've got a fear. Is a lot of theories, bad chase taken the chance he might have averted the many tragedies to come. The whale still is of insane rage that none of the whalers had ever witnessed, not developed. Very it began snapping its huge job, thrashing at the water. Then it turned back towards the essex at a distance of six hundred yards and it twice his original speed. It torpedoed the ship with its guys with these very systematically boat, and you want just think, as they said it was stunned right. It was kind of like flop, next No like I was going to you and they watch it swim away and they're like hog yeah anyway, it'll be over and then just watching it turn around. I go holy shit. Just destroys you talk about like music. I

No wonder like that. The way they talk about that we deal with it just hit the boat they're. All like this literally just never have we never even heard of this yeah, yeah, brutal and with that the essex began sinking bow first nice, if you're a whale. This is agreed. I tell you again, other one of the sailors william bond had on his own initiative, retrieve the navigational equipment and the officers quarters and ran back to the spare whaleboats being prepared for it. Had he not done that? No one would have survived bond and the others made it just as the deck of the essex was inches above the ocean surface and the great old ship capsized moments, two miles away, the third whale boat, commanded by captain pollard, could only watch as the essex sank below the horizon. I mean much better to watch, I get a god where now that guy, you know daddy thing spock, because all of your shit was on the right. Yeah

pollard and his men returned. They found the whole floating on our side and each man stared at the wreckage and silence in what chase called quote the pale miss of this air by owns later reckoning, it was less than ten minutes time between the whales first attack and the eventual capsizing of the ship. So the lesson take the chance. When you can everyday take your shot, tat shot. Take your chance. Misha you in our town, Andy you like, or did that sure are you in the middle, our poor becky that now drag yourself close nor of minor for her growing ever blackie. Your amber green caught up with a proper rad and suck out her brain wanna be archimedean, but you live in mandatory was gods and you can pick up get at it You got a new move, downtown man, don't you start out our hot we're in downtown mundo, dolby and now

the twenty one men were all huddled together in what amounted to large, open air rowboats with only the clothes on their backs a bunch of now fairly useless harpoons. But all this begs the question: why did the great east attack. I know no, no. Will author Nathaniel Philbrick believed that it may have been a case of mistaken identity. Sperm whales use a cartilaginous clapper system, don't be easy work, as well as the cartilaginous club versus donor, has used to create a clicking sound that sperm whales used to see through escalation and they use it to communicate with other whales. Here's what it sounds like

look you drink or low law of the land isn't that a funny joke get this reference is the fee How to mars Will you quite draw all the others to british? That's the females have amours cold, like series of clicks closer to what we just heard but may rules have slower louder clicks that whalers called crying and they learn the lesson for clangs, because a clang meant a ball and that not more oil sure clay, often sounded like the tapping of a hammer and its thought that when first mate owen chain nailed the peace of the bottom of his well button haste he might have transmitted sounds that this other whale that there was a competing bull in

His territory might have been there sling in his own his actual com reminded me. Why didn't we don't, knowing all using any bump into the morning, then leaders some of that talk? They don't know whether any further had it been, it know what it was. A man he's like war in any game background. They did it again, what the devil himself or what happens there also another theory, baby, you was going to fuck the ship. It was that he was trying to kill me another whale that was trying to fuck his way. I've seen reality tv ida, that's worth much a lot of idealism. Oh yeah not doing well well. This is why they had this theory. Typically, when a whale fought with whale boat or a whale ship. It used its jaws. Its tail whalers have noted competing male sperm wales will attack each other. Similar way to how the eighty five foot long bull attack the essex tat Oh no, my the essex was indeed made of strong white oak. It was twenty one.

Years old and gone through to serious storms during that last voyage alone: oh yeah, making it no match for the leviathan that attacked at cool now. Ironically, it has since been found that the echo vocation system and sperm whales, seems to be built around the oregon that produces sperm said. What we're saying. Oh, this thing was full of it to the brim for often with wu, and that means that the thing that the whalers were killing the whales to get was their eventual engine of destruction. Oh wow, that's like being someone who makes wine was killed by grapes. These grapes fell on my to my artillery shell, and what am I at all yeah that we've seen that two different threads twice twice a year. Somebody gets something shut, the hell up, and so captain pollard ordered his men to salvage what they could from the floating wreckage. They found two casks of bread, six hundred pounds of hard tack and several barrels of fresh water

now. This sounds like a lot and it was, I mean no, no, he was for he a year long as you're fuckin right six hundred pounds of hardtack. That's a lot what's hard to read it's hard, but it's like really hard yeah, it's a hard biscuit that you have to soak in water in order to eat which they don't have any walk, yeah. Well, actually, salt water may be good on that. No, it's not! Actually they try and we'll get into. Why that's a horrible idea on the next episode, a little sardine dehydrated but the thing is that even this was far too much for the whaleboats to carry, but twenty five foot longboats there there's like and their seven guys in each other. Robots, so they don't have a whole lot of room for food or for barrels, huge barrels of freshwater re, so they took what they could fit along with a lot of tortoises and a couple hogs its act.

Are they ever eaten these goddamn it's hard, because now you've got to find the room that you got to take them apart, yeah after three days of salvaging what they could and constructing makeshift sales for their whaleboats. They called them It knows the men were suddenly. quote. I love this phrase. Bludgeoned with despair guy. I know then feeling a little bit not like that. Now it being marooned on a boat, yeah hours it's a miles away from coastal, no, but just like being surrounded by a bunch of bread and pigs. Yeah me, like you, still gotta, think all these things, but I can't eat them because none of them are prepared boom and it's hell. That's that's half hotel now The men began fainting from anxiety as reality set in and they couldn't eat or drink which they should have been when they were eating and drink at least put kind of put nonsense. because they were having to leave a lot of food behind, but they couldn't because they were so fucking scare. Oh, come on how scared you gotta be not to be able to eat the guy I've been with, and that's that

Your current has no real eater. When I am scare yeah, you're mill, that's your met. Technically, your brain. Reptilian sanitary population now well sometimes reptilian brain you, you can't eat because something is trying to kill. You yeah, you start to eat than that. going to kill. You, but not that I know you can only when you you got to release scat You need to learn their. They planted a monopoly. This gap is like it's almost a hologram. You always think I love that seen in star wars were that was just gas We love you know. Things were made worse than

they made his legal. Those painted about was george, our big skype. I was so scared you who do can then use at all. No, you got two don't keep, who do or whatever the putin was theirs alone. Who do I don't know what that was all about? I do like George armed him charger in. Without him they went of survive because he knew how to fly or united. Europe allows unction you don't you didn't even know how to do the boat, though he just sat there and screamed the entire time. Every avenue germany said, but oh yeah, ordinary funny comic relief screamed whose funny covered with, but I think you would have little turd you have rightly fellow selling it, or is it like that? Hippo, video or the prudent I haven't gotten will, as is their closure. Is your god things were measure of larger shits seriously were very close to that we're moving us. Everything is counted it all content. Things remain worse the next morning, when the essex begins,

apart from the whale oil gr harsher, should just given a fucking toilet, masturbating irrelevant me associated they will. Let me patch? They won't hear my pigeons it. I know man, I know we had our chances of pitch mediates, Adam starter, logs, driven mad suffered away. There was almost watching manager, be so sad that we were laughing at every level and ass. We had no choice, knew what the essex began to break apart and the whale oil, but the it worked so hard to harvest slicked around them in a wreaking pool from which there was immediate escape now by noon. On the fourth day cap, pollard had made his navigational calculations and was ready to discuss options with his first and second mate, of which there were actually quite a few ok burst, like it back track to the galapagos islands two hundred miles away. This was a bad option for multiple reasons and life.

Why is hawaii that was also discussed? They knew who I was, but the small vessels couldn't survive hawaii storm season. They were right in the middle of it and they could also sail west towards the island. More cases about twelve hundred miles away, which was a pretty smart move. More cases have been a popular port for chinese traders for decades in the island of tahiti was reachable as well. Both could be reached in less than thirty day sounds fun bought by eighteen, twenty, and took it. Sailors had come to believe that many south pacific islands were infested with cannibal currency threatens to a few years you're a. U s. Navy captain had published reports that, in time of famine, the people of the mark, as I islands, what butcher wives, children and aged parents for food and another visit to the island, said that the natives greatly enjoyed human flesh and quote those who have once eaten it with difficulty abstain from it. Are they, absolutely love. Cocoanuts might be better o applicant.

It is also a bit like of fear of the unknown. Rarely I'll give you look at this thing and you kind of paint it being like all know their primitive, so they must each other. Well, it's been a little. What does pots they are? There was all within ceiling life cannibalism was kind of referred to was a thing what I called it happened. They called it the custom of the sea that was their euphemism. Well, that's horrified, it's kind of a cannibal holocaust. Another man will that's the thing was cannibalism practised on south pacific islands from time to time, or was it cannibal holocaust? No, it's not I'd. Give them a pinky toe it'll be like it'll. Do me, I'm not gonna put a southerner boning. Women are engaged in loans from good mariner and from what it seems. Captain Pollard probably knew this, especially since too high He was by this time home to a thriving english mission, complete with a large chapel, but captain pollard style of patenting was decidedly more democratic. It was absolutely the wrong style in a fix such as this.

When you're on a bunch of boats right and they do everything's gonna you're fucked. But the idea of taking a vote that point you're like you, let's just go with my thoughts. Idea. You've got to be a leader just some times. Then you get back to the democracy when you're, when you are on the land, where this isn't the time to check the polls know you've got a lead here. What pollard? that heading two, the islands would increase their chances of survival, but most of the men were scared. Now only if the cannibals, but by the fact that the people Those islands also openly accepted and practiced homosexuality, which is just like you're on a boat brow yeah. I know you're see. I know that you do provide comfort, every once in a while. I see a man hurt and for it to sit near me like gar yeah, they get getting them. Their homophobia was so deep. There's marooned in the middle of nowhere possible going to be whale meat in anytime, but the idea of seen another man's ball sack was like I'd,

I have this yeah I mean one day. It was both things combined with the shows like not only they cannibals, but they have sex with each other We must say: look I mean come on we're here at sea gap woolsack each other's dicks, all the fuckin time, but daily lovely far. I arrive at engineer really, not that big. Doesn't it doesn't matter? A woman should only be ring if you dont going approval river. I know yesterday me man, you're a man. Can you go back to blaze, cleaning out all The turtles Instead, a hang out with a bunch of chill gay deeds into hedy, probably having a wonderful kind of opening chapter. Seven margarita see Didn't aloud

a lot is now. This is really this really jumped the shark their herman. Instead of that, they went with arguably the worst option rate they decided to follow. The easterly trade wins back to the coast of south america. Fifteen hundred, two thousand miles away by their reckoning, where they'd hopefully be picked up. another wailing bustle and all no need to become forever mom memorialize. In writing. As the fatal error, all that had to happen was one due to the raises hand. Much like they did in the nineties and say broader good more push you for us with your mama bear down as a result in trying to avoid cannibalism,

true, very ironically, guaranteed at o man and that's where we'll pick back up for the conclusion to our series on the tragedy of the essex, yep, yep, yep, yep yep, and that's why it's good to be skinning on a boat. It really is, I'm I'm starting to think I'm a little weight. Yeah? We all are we all. Are we all pro whale because they they asked the passport you went out there, you go I'll try on this giant animal it just one can say baron and sometimes go fuck you up here I mean maybe we'll figure out. I bet you because it took him at home. Hence he ships went missing. How many more whales killed chips m also happen way. More very little ever thought that it at all for fuckin candles for of these colonies were the port of aid, but it was straight up. It's the fucking lubrication for all of them.

bag of machinery. That is the lubrication now we'll get into it later, but yeah. I can't wait. I mean really. What happened with wailing is slick with it. Yeah will be real slick with episodes we're going to be completely covered and caleb ray. I wasn't until the discovery of petroleum and eighteen, fifty nine Whale oil started going on a fashion, so you give aid compared to x on mobile x on mobile was what killed the wailing industry all comes back lubrication than all of it. Fantastic. That's why I'm pro excitement to this day. A brave stand. Yes, I know why willy brandt, thank you. So much. Listening. Do we have anything to announce we have our australian toward home? Is that has been raised? Scheduler them early lay we'd like to invite you out, I'm going to put up an information on my social media, but we're going to be doing a bit of a side.
