Synopsis

When young James Gale Hubbell joins the whaling voyage on the ship Hibernia of New Bedford, Massachusetts, he expects a heroic adventure on the high seas. But Hubbell soon discovers everything is not as it seems on the ship. Safety precautions have not been accounted for. The tempers of the ship's leaders flare at the slightest provocation. Hubbell and his crewmates soon find themselves commanded by their Consul to sail a ship unfit for the sea; its mast rots and hull leaks.

In this true story, the crew's refusal to endanger their lives in this manner launches them into the fiercest physical, emotional, and legal trials of their lives, in which their every principal will be tested.
