As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together in three small whaleboats.

Like the Pequod, the Essex sank but unlike the story in Moby Dick, all 20 of the Essex's crew survived their encounter with the whale, and they drifted some 4,000 miles in small whaleboats, with scarce supplies.
A launch and whaleboat from the new Astrolabe were steered to this locality, and after going to exhausting lengths, their crews managed to dredge up an anchor weighing 1,800 pounds, a cast–iron eight–pounder cannon, a lead ingot, and two copper swivel guns.
A whaleboat or whaler is a type of open boat that is relatively narrow and pointed at both ends, enabling it to move either forwards or backwards equally well. It was originally developed for whaling, and later became popular for work along beaches, since it does not need to be turned around for beaching or refloating. The term "whaleboat" may be used informally of larger whalers, or of a boat used for whale watching.
