Input (English): Text:  The Essex was an American whaleship from Nantucket Massachusetts. The ship captained by George Pollard Jr. is widely known for being attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in the southern Pacific Ocean in 1820. The crew spent months at sea before the final eight survivors were rescued; first mate Owen Chase and cabin boy Thomas Nickerson subsequently wrote accounts of the ordeal. The incident served as inspiration for Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick.
