4.0 out of 5 stars I wonder what Grace made of this?, June 3, 2007
This book is like a real-life version of Moby Dick, minus the white whale. Mr Murphy seems torn between wanting to protect his new bride (Grace) from the gorier aspects of the voyage and providing the reader with an objective record.

The book is best at the beginning when everything is new and exciting. Towards the end there are more lists and I began to skip pages. It was worth reading though, and proof, were it needed, that whaling is a gruesome activity which we would be better off without.
