What powers should have a man?
Since it was discovered that whale oil ...
He could illuminate the cities in a way that had never been achieved ...
She created a global demand
He has led man to venture further and further ...
the unfathomable and uncharted sea
we do not know its depth ...
or the accumulation of creatures houses
... Monsters are real
all accounts are to make us respect the dark secrets of the sea
In the Heart of the Sea
ISLAND NANTUCKED Massachusetts, February 1950
the question bothers me, yet I am excited ...
and is the reason I am writing in wanting to see it a second time ...
a conversation with you sir
It will help to write the novel I intend ...
now entitled ... Moby Dick
I hope reconsider my offer
the unknown is where my imagination venturing forward ...
so the question still haunts me
How the inscrutable known?
Sincerely ... Herman Melville
We're closed!
We not admit after 8!
Are you!
She comes to visit someone you love
Tom Nickerson?
Herman Melville
We received your letter
You must be a desperate man, or a fool to have come to Nantucked
Well, my offer stands
three months' rent for an evening of conversation
are all my savings
but I prefer to see it as an investment
I need you to tell me what happened
in Essex
What do you think happened?
There are stories, rumors that ...
What do you want? What story is waiting to hear?
Whale!
The Essex was a full investigation ran aground
I think that the investigation was nothing true
- The is - is the last survivor of Essex Mr.
unless it decides who will speak?
What not hear well? I want you to go, now.
- No, please do not go ... - he does not want to talk about it
I did not come here to humiliate me and less waste my time
Mr. Melville ...
Essex will not talk about me or anyone .. he has ever done, ever
dying in the depths of his soul
your heart is ... so tormented.
And you need to confess please let me talk to him, please.
Love...
I think you should talk to this man
¡No!
listen carefully!
Who has this place afloat while you will suicide with alcohol?
You'll talk to the man as necessary
for the money
You know our situation well Thomas
only to the extent necessary
I bring the whiskey
forget to mention in my letter but I was whaling once ...
a trip from cabin boy.
So ... have you seen it?
My wife read her books
- He was pleased ... - I am happy
They sold well, but I think this story ...
it could exceed the success of my first novel.
Another time his marine adventures?
Have you read Mr. Melville to Hawthorne?
It is a great writer .. a great writer.
So is
but he is not here .. and if
for my personal reasons
I'll tell you about Essex, I seem to be disappointed ...
but every word I say is true
Essex history is the story of two men.
Captain George Pollard ...
and his first mate Owen Chase ..
¿Owen .. not want to be late?
No time .. plus our daughter can not sleep under the leak it?
How are you so sure it's a girl
for that ... so I hope you will remember that I love you when you're stubborn
if it is a girl will be a version of you and not me
curly and determined to conquer the world
I guess that will change today after a uniform jacket
so, we change this piece of land for a house captain you deserve.
I do not want a house in the city with neighboring stretched ...
there's plenty here for the three
sometimes I think your generosity and simplicity are unbearable
go your captaincy.
A new record, £ 50
- Good morning Mr. Chase - Mr. Mason. Pass here ...
My partner Benjamin Fuller
Good day sir, take seat
Mr. Chase, I hope you know how pleased we are ...
with the work he has done for years - Thank you sir.
One of our boats, Essex
It has been restored at great expense and is ready to sail.
Of course having invested heavily in it, we want to ensure ...
that it is in the best hands so ...
It causes us great pleasure to offer you a position on board
First Officer
First official?
Mr. Mason, you promised me the command of a ship after my previous trip ...
when I returned to port with 1,500 barrels you already forgot it? He swore by his honor.
That promise must be deferred
like everyone else we had difficulties recently
no, never in my care
Nantucked now dominates the world market, must go on
this is no time to experiment
The Essex will be captained by George Pollard
son of a large family of whalers.
His father who is also sponsoring us
Heard Mr Chase, you can have all trips you want on your history ...
but blood always wins
but never charged if the oil ship Mr. Mason.
Captain successfully requires respect what if men do not respect him?
You will seek to do so
Until then Knights
Clearly, I understand your disappointment, so ...
one fifteenth of the gain
It is more than what I paid any first officer.
And if you can get two thousand barrels of oil, I give you my word ...
next time will have his captaincy
I had already given his word Mr. Mason.
This time I want it in writing.
Captain Pollard, had a nice conversation with Mr. Chase ...
He will be honored to be at your service.
I am delighted that
I am now the rookie babysitter
a "nobody" of Nantucked born with a silver spoon damn mouth
I should have rejected the offer on their faces
because? now you have the captaincy offer solid
But if the word of a liar is not worth writing.
Hey, I love you as if you were a merchant captain.
And you you were not going for two years
- I will not leave for two years - just bring a whaler which lasted three
no two men returned and even had the empty half helmet
but they were in Bedford and I was on board the ship.
Filth!
I capitanearé my own ship
Un Barco whaler
if for them only would this piece of land ...
and that will not happen Peggy
ideas are not your father's yours.
What are these ideas?
I wanted something for your family, for yourself
- Owen was a dreamer - if that was
I dreamed of the sea and never sailed because of men like that.
At least I gave birth to their children
Only that I can do
I'm sorry
desposé a un whaler
I will return as soon as a summer night, I swear.
Just come back. Promise me ...
Already I swore and now you ask me to promise?
I promise you.
Son, come here.
To be captain you should not make friends, you are his superior ...
never forget, never let them forget.
Thank you sir.
Your great-grandfather and a few others created the industry
without us, without you the world is plunged into darkness
I hope to give honor to name Mr. Pollard
Your great lord created the whale that amazing monster uproar ...
his immense strength is our concern but oh eternal God, your will is ...
we mere mortals ...
For white flames whale oil ...
continues to illuminate our homes
to free the streets of sin at night and feed industry machines ...
that drive our great nation
while our noble species evolves, we pray in your name.
And what month was that?
At the end of the year, he was one of the last to sail
Barzillai so my friend and I got a job
know, he was fourteen. Fourteen...
Nickerson, do something productive and
first in the sea scared but prove ...
Barzillai Tenia 17
orphan, grew up in the dock ... both eager to be men
What have put on the neck? Whalebone Thomas
How do I get one of those? Well, you must throw a lethal harpoon ...
the largest beast that lives in the ocean
Nickerson, llévale la verdura al seños Bond
it is fast boy
I'll one day those twelve
put them in the bottom row.
Well, well, see you on board means only one thing.
There's one person on this ship who knows the truth of Owen Chase.
Not that the other ships already had crew.
No, no .. I am a reformed man Owen the matter is that your equal.
Do not tell me Matthew Joy moved away from the bottle ...
Dry everything ... and Owen Chase lost his temper?
Calm as church
I'll believe it when I see
And this captain I'll give your serenity as 48 hours ...
Luck.
Hola soy George Pollard. Owen Chase
- If land is it? - Yes it is...
but soon I will leave the mainland for a while and I feel at home ...
the truth surprise me, usually a captain chooses his first official ...
a captain with experience, if
but you must understand the position of shipping, they want their investment ...
in the hands of men - that's right.
Maybe they wanted some extra guarantee is all
because this very attentive to me and let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Would not otherwise captain.
Mr. slight Chase now anchor
Candles wind up men - yes sir
Mr. Lawrence at the helm, Mr. Joy largue candles
Mr. Cole, Mr. Chappel by the mizzen
cleaned and topsail Poletes unwind the winches
The Poletes, release those huinchas
Mr. Chappel take the helm
Waiting why rigs are not lying?
Knights hell out candles
We weighed anchor!
Captain, get down! Watch your head captain!
- What about Mr. Sheppard? - The tip candle tangled Mr.
Mr. Chase is not released.
Care
It is broken Owen
Mr. Chase good work!
If we come to Cape Verde in two weeks we will have a chance to be ...
in the Pacific time
¿Corn Mr. Chase?
No thank you, sir, I never liked the taste
thats weird...
- I heard that his father grew corn. - If that was ...
As you can imagine I got tired of eating that every day ..
¿Corn, beans or not? Before he was imprisoned.
Do you know that story Mr. Joy?
Were you aware that Mr. Chase was orphaned due to ...?
Incarceration of his father?
Well, we all have a past here
is a rule not ask too many questions
It not has been easy, but ...
achieving the great marine Nantucked family to adopt him
This is not the first time they call me country boy
or mainland
a man of Nantucked that reminds me that I am not part of that family
and if Captain excuse me ..
..there whaling boats and assign guards.
- No sir, not for me - Not a drop?
No sir, as I said before, the fewer questions are asked is better
- What woman so cute Mr. Chappel - is carved a beautiful view ...
painted on a bone - let me touch
without touching
I always thought he had a wife so, here she is
well, it's your nose at least
Congratulations ladies
They did a good job today releasing candles ...
is the best group of rookies have ever seen
- Mr. Chappel - Lord
arponero de CAPITÁN
- Mr. Lawrence, be mine - yes sir
Mr. Peterson harpooner and the second officer
Yes sir
there will be six men per boat, practices begin tomorrow at six bells
we are not yet near Halifax Mr.
what is your name? Coffin, Henry Coffin.
He is the cousin of Captain, Mr.
Mr. Coffin well ... a whale knows if it is close to Halifax?
Who are not all are, or how they got here ...
some crimes that target should be, and are fugitives ...
It is good, but I do not care here are only for one thing
and one thing only whale oil
I pretend to fill our 2000 barrels and return as quickly as possible
and even if mild weather and no whales Mr. Coffin ...
descend boats and practice maneuvers ...
necessary to whaling
any idle man will be forced to swim back
- Did you understand? - Yes sir!
Boy on deck ...
obeys
peasant learned
- Thomas Nickerson right? - Yes sir
son some dizzy at first
Do not! do not! Súbame again! King Neptune to be faced, boy ...
Please súbame!
you are better?
Lord, really sorry
Well, you have something to tell your mother
My mother is buried in Smith Hill
my father also has a tombstone, the ...
He was lost at sea before I was born
Give me that.
For now this is your family for better or for worse
Bad, especially
Cover clean child
Today you will learn what it takes to be whaling - yes sir!
He crossed that line bad Nickerson
we will stay until the evening if necessary
!Yes sir!
Main Guard lines!
Prepare harpoon boats
Prepare gear! Loafers faster!
- Faster Mr. Ray! - If Mr. Chase!
It is no longer a rookie Mr. Chase ... you are a sailor!
Well done!
Get used to this, they work like mules
- Mr. Chase - Mr.
full sail
Are you sure, sir? The Gulf Stream is close ...
should thus continue to see Climate
we have two days late ...
you have to win time to reach the east wind
Full sail!
That tie! Full sail! Mr. Coffin up there!
The captain asks speed!
The main topsail set and the bunion to full sail, fast!
It may be old but still advances guys!
Lord there are storms we shorten sail to starboard immediately
Chase still no sir
Mr. headed to a storm over 8 knots
and progresses faster than that who approaches ...
men softened ground need to be a baptism ...
do let them know that our work began
If not shorten sails and tacked it will not be captain balance.
Mr. Chase, follow
- Mr. Lawrence, stay the course - keeping course Mr.
noon fleeing lose so we will skirting
if they can not tolerate a burst so God help us all
prepare for stormy weather
Get ready for a storm Mr. Bond
a storm approaches
- We must turn and run away with her - Mr. Chase, go forward
- Mr. Lawrence, stay the course - keeping course Mr.
- Shorten the sails Mr. Chase - against the wind, resume lines
also down those candles
Turn the boat, turn downwind!
No, the damage is done, release bunions
It's late, it's too late!
That viren the helm!
¡Sujétense!
care!
Mr. Joy!
We must free bunions!
Did he want to see me sir?
A six bells tomorrow will bring the crew
He informs them that return to Nantucked for repairs
and then apologize to them for interfering in what the captain ordered
that almost it costs him his life every man in this boat
Than?
I will accept his resignation upon reaching the port
That will be all
was his order be plain sailing Mr.
that decision was safe, the men had to practice
Is that why he sent a storm?
That was bad luck ...
that was not bad marine tactics and blame the fortune is simple weakness
Damn your impertinence! Any idea who he talks?
My name is Captain George Pollard
and you, Mr. Chase, no matter how
whalebone take hung on his lapel
He is only the son of a peasant who managed
obtain by force official jacket
and now scram
return to port without a single barrel of oil would be a grave error
inappropriate for a man surnamed Pollard ...
or Chase, after all
and what would be best for both parties to work all the hours God grant
oil loading the ship, returning home before a
year and away from each other as soon as possible
Believe me, I also wish that, just like you
clear that the captain decides
They were like a bad marriage
in a bad marriage both tolerated Mr. Melville
but a bad marriage can also sink a ship
- Mr. Melville has a wife? - So is.
May God have mercy on you
the first child is on the way
And his dear wife knows that came with everything you have in the world tonight ...?
And he gave it to a stranger?
- No sir - is filled with some surprises?
Essex then why not return to port?
- She Not returned. - Continued their journey?
That was, and within days that cry was heard ... all whaling longs to hear
Whale!
- ¿O Francas cachalotes señor Ramsdell? - ¡His cachalotes!
Mr. Chase, preparing and paying out the boats
- Attention all hands on deck! - All hands on deck!
¡Bájenlo!
South Atlantic Ocean 3 MONTHS AT SEA
- Follow the column! - Yes sir!
All together, Remen until their arms fall
they are there!
Boys and move all rowing! - Yes sir!
hard!
¡ remen, remen con furia!
That is the breeding!
- Is that farming? - That's great!
And that's our male there's the prize
¡Nickerson, rema!
- 40 barrels? - 50, it's huge!
All rowing hard all!
Fasten their oars!
- Mr. Ramsdell remember the line - yes sir
Mr. Lawrence is the first mine
I want the best location!
¡ remen! ¡ atentos! ¡ síganlo!
It is the first sleigh ride Nantucked boys
the most fearsome creature that ever lived on earth
my hands!
You have to get the line Nickerson
give me arms 140 line here Mr. Chase
Line 80 arms are Mr.
Peterson, I need your line
Continue! Peterson give me that line!
- Give me that Mr. Peterson online - online arms 60 are Mr.
- 20 Mr. Chase arms - open them!
clever! now!
- Peterson continues! - Yes sir
Do not! do not! do not! high!
Owen! Not yet, not yet!
- Do not touch that line - 50 arms are sir!
- Owen please! - I told you not touch her!
Have 10 arms sir!
- Stand back! - Move back!
Bleeding hole! Bleeding hole!
Dense gentlemen hurry
boys do not get anything
oil is out
its a lot of money
And get the hell bastards!
- you got it? - Not yet
- how is everything going? - Evil
that's it.
Heard Mr Chase, there is no more lord, I can not get more.
Gold is there boys continue stirring
Mr up in there, do not fit
who can find
Nickerson, come here boy
I told you to come hear
up and get in there
Thomas do you expect, what is there worth a lot more than they are boiling
sir I can not, sorry
comes now or I will sleep in there
you must put it between your teeth boy ...
It smells worse than the devil's ass in there.
Thank you.
- I'm sorry. - Hey Nickerson, take my pillow
that's!
A man knows himself in there
- Has entered the skull of a whale? - No, they had pity
Well, that's where the treasure is
I'll never forget that first male
47 barrels, although the happiness was short-lived.
Are there water had been exploited?
Indeed, more so even we got deep
we circle the Cape in a month
let the South Atlantic with the faint hope that everything would change for the better
but getting to the Pacific did not improve our lot
whales were too small
after almost a year at sea the relationship between the master ...
and the first officer became more tense
Captain spent most days and nights in his cabin ...
fearing to see his crew's eyes
our winery was almost empty
and contemplate our limited efforts only served to remind ...
we were far from coming home.
ECUADOR ATACAMES
I do not understand that language do you speak my language?
Bail more
this is whale oil
treat yourself
Are widows? Are the owners of a ship that has ceased to exist?
How long can you live like this? How long Captain?
Do what you want, and ask God to forgive you and your captain
Sir, no one could avoid what happened yesterday
and no one can erase the horror and who will believe us?
No, of course not our heads ...
for years our oil filled his pockets with gold, and do it again
what is gold case can he return the arm?
Captain, excuse me. The natives tell me that their ship was attacked
Captain George Pollard, Essex
Captain Kevin Pelaez, Santa Maria
Would you invite a drink to a colleague?
- The usual Jorge - if Captain
Bad luck, no?
How far?
Enough so that only a fool will.
How far would that be?
It is a strip on Ecuador.
Seaward.
Had whales there?
More than you've been told.
Hundreds. More than the eye can see.
They could fill 3,000 barrels a day.
What could you mean?
If it were not for the demon ...
A whale.
White as alabaster.
30 meters long.
He sent six of my men to the grave ...
and others marked us never to forget
And that white whale made a trick? I steal your pockets too?
Thank you
Can you believe that?
Shall we go out now?
Going southeast with good weather ...
We can go home in six months.
What Mr. Chase says?
No need to waste more time than necessary.
Agree with that.
Amen.
Greed took the captain and his first officer.
We went out with that course ...
the strip in Ecuador ...
but aimlessly ...
Speculation began.
That had gone to hide whales
They were as far as they could be ...
But the hunted.
Centuries before ...
sailors feared the edge of the Earth.
But we went to the brink of insanity.
Trust became doubt ...
Hope became blind ...
Captain. Men want to talk.
That men do.
They are not happy with their decision to come this far.
For correct them.
They remembered the purpose of this boat,
which is filling with whale oil and where are we going?
Lord, this is crazy enough.
Do not be swayed by this man.
You must return the boat.
I suggest you ...
come back and assure them that the leader ... ...
never abuse the use of the privilege of talking to me again.
Sr. Coffin...
What's going on?
Listen out. Mr. Chase.
I see something in the water. Where?
A port.
You see something?
Time to hunt! Time to hunt!
Whales.
The devil seized this region
Catch it.
Encájasela, encájala.
Pégale Peterson.
Do not let their oars bite
Hazlo.
The whale?
Yes.
So is it true? Yes.
Much is true.
Full rowing!
Mr. Bond. Fold the ratchet down the rigging.
Yes sir!
Mr. Lawrence, downwind, you should go straight to the herd
you'll find hot tar Mr.
We are next to the whale
Encájalo.
Is ours.
What was that, Mr. Lawrence?
Sr. Chase.
Fuck.
Look Mr ...
Mr. Lawrence activate pumps
Where is?
He returned to port
Give me the biggest gaff we have.
He wants to fight ...
I never saw a whale do that.
Mr. Lawrence take the helm ...
Mr. Ramsdell tie the other end of the line to the foremast
- If Lord - while I'm alive, it's mine
Cut the line!
Captain.
El Essex, is clipping ..
we go!
Turn around the boat
Let's grab it ... Throw a rope ...
Come on...
Sr Chase.
A Sr whale destroyed the ship.
Than?
We lost Easton and Sanborn.
Mr. Stern is useless
Well, we abandon ship.
We'll get everything.
We distribute loads. Ahead...
Please charge ...
Come provisions.
Carried the barrels.
Come on, take it.
You got it? Do not stop ...
Grab the candle. There it goes.
Take the candle.
Naked.
Fill the pot.
Grab your hand. Above.
I have you.
Still loading.
Keep working.
Let's go ahead.
Sr Chase...
Mr. Chase is there.
Aléjense.
Mr. Chase is there.
There, there, there it is.
This way. Is there.
Come on.
Take that, grab it.
You got it.
¿Largo fishing, right?
Clear and charged Mr. Joy.
We must get away, or we will sink with it
¿Captain, what about groceries?
2 ounces of cookies a day for man ...
And half a cup of water.
Is the.
If it really is the
me right to my lord Chase.
Mr. Coffin. What do you want.
You put us here, you know so.
Care. Put the gun down.
It's your fault ... Put it down.
Put the gun down.
What happens when you run out of water and food?
Do as he says Captain Coffin
Lower the gun, that's an order. You have what the captain now.
Say it. Henry.
Say it. Say it.
Henry.
Put the gun down.
Henry, bájala.
So we paddled ...
back to the direction in which we came.
Only the sun accompanied our souls.
Both addresses were the same.
What we had was this Easter Island.
A journey of 4,800 kilometers
in 12 days we floated south.
A 6 degrees latitude.
We do not approach anything to Easter Island.
We are cursed.
We'll fix that when you change the time.
We will.
Captain endurance.
Agárrenlo.
Sr Sr Joy ... Is well?
The candle...
¿Mathew, what happens?
What are you doing here? Let me see.
No, no ... Let me see.
I'm fine. Calm.
I know, just let me see.
I noticed in the head ...
is nothing...
Bring some water. There is no water.
Give me some water.
I need water, I'm fine.
Take that, take it.
I have you, I have you.
Good. Good.
Look, I'm fine.
Come on, nothing happens.
Nothing happens. Did I hear?
Owen. Yes.
All right. If?
I'm fine.
All right. Beware that.
I'm fine. Get out of here.
It's okay.
Come on.
We splashed water on a dead man.
They know ...
They grew up together ...
Dime...
you could sit there and see your brother die?
It's just a question of numbers Mr. Chappel.
Not enough for all of us.
Do not waste water on a dead ...
Water spend ...
Do not waste water ...
Do not waste water at a standstill.
Sr Nickerson
Do not waste water ... Is Mr. well?
I can not ... Can not what?
Has enough, he has more than enough.
Mr've come this far ...
We reached the end.
We had an agreement Mr.
Take what you have.
It's enough.
No, still it has many kept secrets.
Especially those that undermine the soul of a man.
What's yours?
I'm not a great writer.
I'm not Hawthorne.
From the first time I heard of this ...
I loved this story.
Me consume.
I feel if I do not write ...
You should never write more.
What else?
I feel that if I do well,
It will not be as good as it should.
Continue the story Mr.
For the good of both.
Pass.
Look Mr.
We thank God for this food ...
I'm sorry. For the help and care ...
And lead us not into ...
Earth.
Earth. Owen.
Earth. Earth.
Dios, remen, remen.
Oars into the water. Remos.
Remen.
Stop rowing párenlos.
Mr. Chase ¿what is it?
¿Mr. Chase what the hell is? Because for?
We have been following. Than?
Where is?
Nothing Mr. Chase. There's nothing there.
Sr ¿do you do?
Where is?
Doozy island could be ...
without a map or compass it is impossible to be sure ...
keep the fire burning day and night ...
and hope that some ship pass and see us.
It's been a while here.
They have long been undoubtedly
waiting for a boat.
And no boat came.
And no boat was coming.
If we were die.
How long were waiting believe without seeing anything?
It is a privilege to know that men have died in these lands.
We must prepare for it.
It's a damn being so far from home.
No chance to say goodbye,
no chance to make amends.
No opportunity to fix things.
But at least we managed between us,
captain.
¿Captain of what?
The Essex was lost and it was not your fault.
I use the mast ... You were not the captain.
You were born to do this job.
To me they only got me into it.
What do George?
What offense did to bother God so much?
The only thing that offended God is a whale.
Not us?
Look where we are.
We are supreme creatures made by God's light.
Just great ...
whose business is to circumnavigate the globe ...
Having nature to our will.
Do you really think the king of Earth after all we've been through?
We are nothing...
we are ghosts ...
dust.
We sail at sunrise.
If we die ...
It is with the grace of God.
But we die like men.
Are we ready Mr. Weeks?
If Mr.
Sr. Chappel.
Mr. Wright. I can not do Mr.
We are very weak.
We stayed.
Mathew Ready to go?
Give me your hand I'll help ... It makes no sense.
Do you hear me? Come home, home.
Has no sense.
Finished.
Mathew demons.
It's okay.
I will send a boat for you when we get back ...
and play cards the way home.
Yes. It's a deal. All right.
Do you want me to open it?
I think I can manage.
I think so.
God go with you brother.
Like you.
¿Peterson?
Are you with us? Mr. Peterson.
Go to another boat.
Where is?
Pollard.
Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Lawrence. Wake up.
Where is the other boat?
¿Pollard? ¿Captain Pollard?
¿Captain Pollard?
Where is?
¿Pollard?
What's up?
Is this the Benjamin, what are you doing?
Is dead.
We must prepare the body.
Look at me...
Look Benjamin.
There is no right to this but can save ...
Listen kid, listen.
He can help.
Forgive so ...
So it was decided ...
We prepare the body.
Remove the organs.
Split their limbs.
And we cut all the meat from the bones.
After that ...
Closed body.
And we did ...
You should not know so well ...
and throw the rest of the sea.
We ate the heart first.
¿Me juzgas?
No.
There there...
It's done.
Whether it is out.
Never would you tell anyone?
Not even your wife?
I think I would love ...
if I knew I made the abominations?
Yes, I would.
And if you had told me that story to know ...
would you even today.
The good of that boy ...
still he lives in you. I see.
Even if you do not see.
You can finish your story now my love.
Look...
Sit down.
God.
You should not take this water ...
you get worse.
Do you have family?
At home, Chase ...?
A wife.
And a son or a daughter ...
Very good.
Captain...
It will be again. We will not do that.
Mr. Ramsdell you take command of this boat
I leave you.
You ... you're the captain?
Your men need you.
My men will be fine.
Please. Please.
Henry. We can do it again.
That's an order...
You can not do it...
passing the gun to another man.
Take care.
We spent weeks so ...
that part of the Pacific seems more a desert than an ocean.
The sun beating ...
My fear...
all I could think of ...
Everyone was dying and I was the only one alive.
As far as Mr. Chase said we were miles of land ...
Sr. Chase.
Captain Pollard ...
Good to see you...
We were able to survive a few.
Those are ...
They are alive...
Does the third boat?
We well for days.
I'm afraid I missed Mr.
Mr. Chase, the whale is.
It is not a whale ...
Come here...
Come on.
Come on, throw it.
Come on.
Hazlo.
Damn...
You're a damn fool.
The current took us ...
and that was the last time we ...
To port ...
I spot un boat ...
God Why is that?
Sr. Chase.
Father...
Do not leave me father.
A boat...
Mr. Chase, look.
Sr. Chase.
What.
They come...
They come for us ...
Mr. Mire.
We were rescued there, near the island of "further out" in Chile
90 days after the sinking of the Essex.
They gave us clothes to all ...
Attention...
It was hard to get used ...
Strange.
We were looked after as best they could ...
Until we find a boat to take us home.
It took us three months.
It seemed that all the people had come to see our return ...
But there was no uproar ...
Only silence.
They looked at us like we were ... appearances ...
Ghosts ...
We said nothing of the details of our survival anybody.
But I wondered if anyone would know of our ordeal.
Everyone was curious.
I promised you, right?
God.
Hello dear, who is this?
Vivian.
Vivian Chase.
It's Dad.
Hello Darling.
It's Daddy.
As soon leave us alone ...
Mr. Chase would live as soon arrived home ...
one was arrested for his return time in the office ...
Businessmen still had questions.
Here we are...
We had significant losses of life and property ...
It seems there will be an investigation ...
And it is expected that the captain and give their official statement happened.
Yes of course.
I have discussed this with the board and ...
my father...
And we close this issue to avoid branches.
Terrible ramifications for the entire industry.
A whale destroyed the Essex.
But it is the truth.
If the industry and investors begin to worry ...
monsters that hunt for ships ...
not survive whaling.
We are all in this business. All.
And as in any business the chance to succeed is always greater ...
the risk involved.
What do you suggest George?
You say that the ship ran aground.
That's a lie. And men drowned.
That is another lie. They will make you captain.
I've had the pleasure.
Only under the condition that you bring home a boatload of oil ...
so it is guaranteed.
You'd be a rich man.
The name Chase would merely the name of farmers.
It would be established among the big names of family Nuntucked.
Can I ask what happened to change for profit?
We are asking you to be pragmatic.
The Essex sunk by a whale.
And those who survived abominations committed in boats ...
to survive.
And now it expected to tell lies ...
for you boat owners Nuntucked ...
they can continue filling with oil money.
Well, I will not deny the truth.
Not if you do George.
The last time I saw him,
Sr. Chase.
I could not find the words to say what I wanted.
Thomas.
Perhaps there were no words.
I will continue my way here ...
It has been an honor Mr.
Serve with you.
The honor is mine, Mr. Nickerson.
Do you take.
Good luck out there Thomas.
Thank you Mr.
The next day George Pollard was called to testify ...
Gentlemen, Captain George Pollard.
In a few moments...
We give a complete argument.
Good morning gentlemen, please sit down.
Start for files.
The Essex was destroyed by a white whale west of ...
It was his way of confronting your conscience ...
He told the truth ...
He should clarify all ...
But the board did not admit ...
no more was said about that ...
or the white whale. They never found.
It was way after Hawaii ...
cursed twice.
He never sailed again.
And Owen Chase?
He was a man of his word.
First he sent a boat to the islands Doozy.
Mr Joy died ...
but the other three incredibly still alive.
And so...
Once he found them ... he moved from city ...
To start again.
In a merchant seaman ...
Navigating between cities ...
Certainly he asserted his money Mr. Melville.
It was a night that weighed about a year.
Well, rest both now. Not me...
I must rest, I'm just in time.
Why?
Already has its history.
The whole plot is there.
Maybe it was not a plot after all ...
No, what then?
Something else gave me tonight.
What was that?
The courage to follow ...
when there is nowhere to go.
Sr Melville.
What he heard what I said ...
everything will be in your book?
It will be a book of fiction.
Sr. Nickerson...
Inspired by true events,
but I do not think I need all the details.
Thank you.
Take it with you. Do not.
The money is for you, I insist.
I urge you to have it.
And I insist that a person in this conversation is sober.
Then again you ... Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Well, good luck.
Thank you.
You know...
I heard a Pennsylvania man who opened a hole in the ground ...
and he found oil ...
It can not be true.
I heard it too.
Underground oil
