Description

It was an obsession of mankind in the 19th Century to pit itself against nature, and no greater natural adversary could be found than the mighty whale. What now seems cruel seemed valiant to the Yankees of old New England; mortal men in frail boats waging desperate battle against a beast they called the "great Leviathan.".
