Join us as we present a special film screening of Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard’s film In the Heart of the Sea, an adaptation of Nantucket author Nathaniel Philbrick’s best-selling book in the Whaling Museum’s main hall.

The story of Ron Howard’s film In the Heart of the Sea recounts the tale of the ill-fated Nantucket whaleship Essex which was stove by a whale in the Pacific Ocean in 1820, and later inspired Herman Melville’s classic Moby-Dick. It stars Chris Hemsworth (Marvel’s The Avengers, Rush) as the Essex’s first mate Owen Chase, Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) as Captain George Pollard, Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight Rises) as second mate Matthew Joy, and Ben Wishaw (Skyfall) as novelist Herman Melville. Tom Holland (The Impossible) also stars as the young cabin boy Thomas Nickerson, and Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I) as the same man, thirty years later.
