In November 1820, the death of the whaling ship "Essex" and the rescue of part of its crew shook the United States. A year earlier, the ship had set sail from Nantucket, beginning another whaling campaign that would last two and a half years in the South Pacific.
While under the command of Captain George Pollard, the whaling ship "Essex" was attacked by a large whale, which rammed it several times until it was wrecked 3,700 km off the coast of South America. Of the 21 crew members, only eight were saved.
