If you like adventure and great writing, "Sea of Glory" is a terrific
book.

I was given a copy of his earlier book "In The Heart Of The Sea" about a
whaling ship disaster. Also a great book... it's real history, lots of
facts, well written, and a fascinating story.

I read Philbrick's "In the Heart of the Sea", too. If a fiction writer came
up with the story, you would say he had a vivid imagination. But, like Doug
said, all of the events in the book are documented and true. The story of
the ship and crew is believed to be Melville's inspiration for "Moby Dick".

I really enjoyed Philbrick's style of writing. I wasn't aware of his book
"Sea of Glory"; I'll definitely read it.

Thanks
