From the publisher

In the summer of 1871, 32 whaling ships, carrying 12-year-old William Fish Williams, a whaling captain & 1218 other men, women & children, were destroyed in an Arctic storm. In a rescue operation of unparalleled daring & heroism, not a single life was lost, but the impact on America's first oil industry was fateful & catastrophic.
