Mutiny on the "Globe" by Thomas Heffernan
Whilst sailing between Hawaii and Tahiti in January 1824, the captain and officers of the Nantucket whaling ship 'the Globe' were attacked with whaling gear, shot, and dumped overboard under the audacious direction of twenty-one-year-old Samuel Comstock, whose dream was to found his own tropical kingdom. This book offers an account of this mutiny.
Thomas Heffernan is a professor of English and current president of the Melville Society. He is the author of Stove by a Whale: Owen Chase and the Essex, which was both inspiration and source for Nathaniel Philbrick's best-selling In the Heart of the Sea.
