Set against the backdrop of the 1841 whaling expedition of the Massachusetts whaleship Sharon, this gripping narrative uncovers the brutal murder of Captain Howes Norris. As the crew hunts in the Pacific, chaos erupts when they return to find their captain dead and bloodied crew members remaining. The third officer's courageous counterattack leads to a shocking confrontation. Despite the dramatic events, an official American investigation into the mutiny never took place, leaving the truth shrouded in mystery for over a century.
