Sea of Glory

In this compelling audiobook, bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick recounts the U.S. Exploring Expedition of 1838–1842, an ambitious naval voyage that aimed to map the vast Pacific Ocean. Unlike the renowned Lewis and Clark journey, this expedition involved six ships and hundreds of crew members, leading to significant discoveries, including the naming of Antarctica and contributions to the Smithsonian Institution. With a blend of dramatic storytelling and thorough research, Philbrick sheds light on this remarkable yet historically overlooked chapter of American exploration.
