Our story began on the Massachusetts island of Nantucket in the early 1800s with young baby Samuel Comstock. His life from infancy to adulthood bore every mark of evil foreboding.
Part one covered until the completion of his heinous mutiny, long considered one of the worst, if not the very worst, in American history. Part two covers the wild aftermath and the voyage back to Nantucket for the few fortunate survivors. Further, I also looked more deeply into what became of these survivors. Buckle in - the end is nigh.

The Life of Samuel Comstock, the Terrible Whaleman Containing an Account of the Mutiny, and Massacre of the Officers of the Ship Globe by his brother, William Comstock, in 1840 provides insight into mainly Samuel's earlier years, as well as accounts from their younger brother George who was a survivor of the voyage and letters home. The most interesting part of this account is that throughout William refers to Samuel as "our hero" when he was definitely an antagonist...
Mutiny on the Globe by Edwin P. Hoyt (1975, 2003) provides extensive information about whaling and, of course, the voyage, mutiny, and aftermath. This author also researched the survivors, but I expanded upon his research.
William Lay and Cyrus M. Hussey's A Narrative of the Mutiny, on Board the Ship Globe, of Nantucket, in the Pacific Ocean, Jan. 1824 not only reveals the boys' experience of the mutiny and aftermath but also gives insight into life and culture of the Mulgraves in the deep Pacific in the 19th century - amazing stuff! It also outlines their trip home and provides some contributions from George.
