Just finished reading "In the heart of the sea".
True story of the whaling ship Essex from Nantucket, which was rammed and sunk by a large sperm whale in the Pacific, based mostly on first hand accounts of two of the survivors. Great read, lots of historical facts and descriptions about Nantucket in particular.
Herman Melville, who had worked aboard whaling ships and heard the stories of the survivors wrote the fictional story "Moby #^&#^&#^&#^&".
I haven't been to the movie theater in years, definately going to see this one with my two boys.
