Silas Lang Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 If I remember correctly, it's about a disastrous sailing expedition that resulted in cannibalism of the teenage Owen Coffin. I only learned about it myself in the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 A Nantucket sleighride was a term used by Nantucket whalers to describe what occurs immediately following the harpooning of a whale. The whale, realizing it had been harpooned, would attempt to flee and thus drag the whale boat along with it. The speed of the "sleigh ride" would vary depending on the size of the whale, with larger whales giving faster rides. The Sperm Whale was the whale that brought the most thrill, reaching speeds of 23 mph. The resulting thrill ride for the sailors would last as long as the whale could swim before it became exhausted. Once the whale expended its energy, the sailors would kill it and harvest its oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
