In 1871, The united states’s last fleet of whaling ships used to be destroyed in an arctic ice storm. Miraculously, 1,218 men, women and youngsters survived, however the disaster used to be catastrophic at home.
Oil and Ice is the tale of 1 fateful whaling season that illuminates the unprecedented upward thrust and devastating fall of The united states’s first oil economy, and the fate of as of late’s petroleum industry.
