Demon of the Waters: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Whaleship Globe Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Drawing on an eyewitness account that was lost for over 150 years, Gibson recounts the 1824 mutiny, one of the goriest in maritime lore. The Quaker-bred man at its center, the sperm-oil industry, Nantucket power brokers, and the fledgling US Navy are part of the tale. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

The story of the "Globe" mutiny is one of unending fascination. Dovetailing Gibson's riveting account of the mutiny is the history of the sperm oil industry, its Nantucket Quaker powerbrokers, and the growth of American naval influence. Above all, the book is, in the tradition of Nordhoff and Hall's "Mutiny on the Bounty, " a story of men and the sea.
