I moved this to "Whaleship Essex" because I believe that is the most common way to which it is referred. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dpbsmith (talk • contribs).

Crew List and other data from I'm adding (and will add) is from In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick; the actual book, not the article... --Moby 10:22, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] The Pariahs

Opera about "Whaleship Essex" - The Pariahs by Leonard Kastle

This is a reminder to myself to include a description of this American opera and a link to a reference on it. It was first performed as excerpts from the full Opera in Albany NY 1986. I sang in the chorus. I didn't edit the article because I need a proper reference besides my own experiences which would be original research. The Opera takes place on Nantucket after the return of the survivors and features themes of forgiveness and redemption through faith which are common to Kastle's American Cycle of Operas.

Anyone think this addition would be inappropriate, please say so. Lisapollison 20:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Interesting, I had never heard of this. Here's a google link to get you started: [1]. I'll try and find some time to read some of the results in the next few days. --Moby 08:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
