Synopsis

The mutiny of the whale-ship Globe in the South Pacific in 1825 was one of the goriest incidents in American maritime history and has achieved legendary status in seafaring lore. At the centre of the mutiny was a young man raised in a staunch Nantucket Quaker family, Samuel Comstock, one of the most bizarre and frightening figures who ever went to sea. This is an account of the legendary mutiny, packed with incident and detail.

Media Reviews
* 'A welcome addition to the canon of whaling literature' - New York Times Book review * '..every bit as exciting as the mutiny on THE BOUNTY and Gibson gives us the full adventure: the discovery of a key document, the psychology of the chief villain, going whaling, mutiny life and death among south sea islanders, rescue by the US Navy. This is a gift for fans of Patrick O'Brian or Nathaniel Philbrick.' - John Casey, author SPARTINA
