In 1841, in the South Pacific, madness took the helm of the Massachusetts whaleship Sharon. Those who survived the ill-fated voyage never divulged what really happened. Now more than 150 years later, award-winning maritime historian Joan Druett solves the mystery of the brutal murder of Captain Howes Norris - one of the most ruthless and manical characters in nautical history. This never-before-told true story about a deranged captain; his desperate, mutinous crew; and the man who - in the wake of madness - became a hero, is nautical writing at its best.
