A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst. True story of a couple whose Pacific sailing adventure turns catastrophic when a whale damages their boat, forcing them to survive months at sea. This Valentine’s Month, set sail on an unforgettable true story of survival at sea. Follow a couple’s four-month ordeal floating in a tiny raft across the Pacific after a breaching sperm whale sinks their boat, bringing to life the whales whose teeth are on display at the museum. Told with vivid detail and insight into human resilience, we will explore this couple's astonishing fight to survive on the ocean.
