When Essex departed from Nantucket on her fateful voyage in August 1819, she was considered to be a lucky vessel, as her previous six whaling expeditions had brought in good profits. She was twenty years old and had been refitted during the summer. At only 88 feet (27 m) in length, and measuring about 239 tons burthen, she was small for a whaleship...
Round Cape Horn
Essex departed from Nantucket on August 12, 1819, on what was expected to be a roughly two-and-a-half-year voyage to the whaling grounds off the west coast of South America. The route towards Cape Horn was an indirect one dictated by the prevailing winds of the Atlantic Ocean. First the ship would sail with the westerlies towards Europe and Africa, and then back towards South America with the northeast trade winds. There were scheduled stops at the Azores and Cape Verde Islands, where the shi...
Whaling grounds depleted
After several months searching for whales off the coast of Chile, Essex sailed north and met with more success off the coast of Peru. Within two months they had killed enough whales to produce 450 barrels of oil. In May 1820, Essex hailed Aurora, another whaler from Nantucket, whose captain told them that another whaling ground, known as the "offshore ground" had been discovered more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) off the coast of Peru. Pollard decided that, after making provisioning stops, he w...
Repairs and resupply at the Galápagos Islands
To restock their food supplies for the long journey, Essex sailed for Charles Island (later renamed Floreana Island) in the Galápagos Islands. The crew needed to fix a serious leak and initially anchored off Hood Island (now known as Española Island) on October 8, 1820. During a week at anchor, they captured 300 Galápagos giant tortoisesto supplement the ship's food stores. They then sailed for Charles Island, where on October 22 they took another 60 tortoises. The tortoises weighed between 1...
Abandoning the wreck
The men spent the next two days salvaging what supplies from the waterlogged wreck. Three whaleboats were rigged with makeshift masts and sails were taken from Essex, and boards were added to heighten the gunwales and prevent large waves from spilling over the sides.Inside Pollard's sea chest, which Bond's quick thinking had managed to save, were two sets of navigational equipment and two copies of maritime charts. These were split between Pollard's and Chase's boats; Joy's boat was left with...
Landfall
On December 20, exactly one month after the whale attack, with the men suffering from starvation, dehydration and exposure, the boats landed on uninhabited Henderson Island, a small uplifted coral atoll within the modern-day British territory of the Pitcairn Islands. The men incorrectly believed that they had landed on Ducie Island, a similar atoll 220 miles (350 km) to the east. Had they landed on Pitcairn Island itself, 120 miles (190 km) to the southwest, they might have received help; the...
Separation and cannibalism
The remaining Essex crewmen, now numbering 17 in three boats, resumed their journey on December 27 with the intention of reaching Easter Island. On January 4, 1821, they estimated that they had drifted too far south of Easter Island and decided to make for Más Afuera Islandoff the coast of Chile. On the same day they exhausted their supply of fish and birds from Henderson Island and were back on daily rations of a cup of water and three ounces of bread. On January 10, Matthew Joy, whose healt...
On the morning of February 18, Lawrence, who was steering Chase's boat, spotted a sail a few miles distant. They managed to catch up with the vessel, which turned out to be the British ship Indian. Too weak to climb aboard the ship, Chase, Lawrence and Nickerson had to be lifted from their boat and carried to the captain's cabin. Later that day the...
Pollard returned to sea in early 1822 to captain the whaleship Two Brothers. She was wrecked on the French Frigate Shoals to the northwest of the Sandwich Islands during Pollard's first voyage as her captain. The crew, which included Nickerson and Ramsdell, took to two whaleboats and were picked up the following day by the whaleship Martha, who had...
As well as inspiring much of American author Herman Melville's classic 1851 novel Moby-Dick, the story of the Essextragedy has been dramatized in film, television, and music: 1. The dramatized documentary Revenge of the Whale (2001), was produced and broadcast on September 7, 2001, by NBC. 2. The television movie The Whale (2013) was broadcast on B...
