Preface

Preface

Firstly this is a non-fiction book and it is written based on the journals of those who survived the tragic experience, the main three being; Captain George Pollard, first mate Owen Chase and cabin boy Thomas Nickerson. In a lot of books the preface is skipped, but skipping the preface in this book might lead you to read the book without all information on the book gathered. The preface starts talking about two severely malnourished men sucking the marrow out of human bones.  At that point I thought about putting the book down indefinitely, but I decided it would be better since I started I better finish.
