Eric Jay Dolin on whale ship 'Mentor'...with TRE's Selina MacKenzie

From the best-selling author of Black Flags, Blue Waters comes the story of the American whale ship Mentor, wrecked in 1832 on a remote reef in the western Pacific. With supplies dwindling, the twenty-two crewmen face not only the miseries of shipwreck in unfamiliar territory but also the profound uncertainty of first contact with the Indigenous people of the Micronesian archipelago of Palau, who within days approach the deserted men brandishing axes, clubs and spears.
