Trivia & Community Read: "In the Heart of the Sea"

Join the Nantucket Atheneum, in collaboration with the Nantucket Historical Association and Egan Maritime Institute, for a special community read of Nathaniel Philbrick’s In the Heart of the Sea. This riveting true story of the whaleship Essex and its fateful encounter with a sperm whale is deeply tied to Nantucket’s maritime history.

As part of this weekend-long event, we invite you to a lively evening of In the Heart of the Sea trivia and storytelling!

Test your knowledge of the book and Nantucket’s whaling past in a fun, interactive trivia session. Then, wind down the evening with a dramatic reading of a selected chapter from Philbrick’s gripping account.

Come for the challenge, stay for the story, and connect with fellow readers in this unique literary and historical experience.
