The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket
Edgar Allen Poe wrote the book, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, in 1838. This book was about four crewmen who were stranded at sea. They had to draw lots to decide who would be eaten among the four of them. 46 years later, a yacht named Mignonette was bound for Sydney, Australia and capsized in the middle of its route. Three crewmen killed and ate the cabin boy named Richard Parker.
