Description
Owen Chase (October 7, 1797 – March 7, 1869) was first mate of the whaler Essex , which sank in the Pacific Ocean on November 20, 1820, after being rammed by a sperm whale. Soon after his return to Nantucket, Chase wrote an account of the shipwreck and the attempts of the crew to reach land in small boats. The book, Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex , was published in 1821 and would inspire Herman Melville to write Moby-Dick.
