In the heart of the sea. Best book ever written.
This was wonderful. Thanks so much for uploading it for others to enjoy. Bob is clearly very well informed. He's also a great story teller.
Perhaps we could have done without the other guy being unnecessarily rude during the mic feedback issue. Have a word with yourself big lad.
A well done and articulate video on a classic story. Thanks
Ditto.

Q. Is Owen Chase related to Salmon Chase (1808-1873) of Chase Bank?
Grace to Owen Coffin
"Cocktails and Cannibalism" 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah real funny ?
Seriously? Cooked or raw? Without a doubt room temperature or as hot as a rock would get in the Sun.
