So on the one hand we have what seems a realistic evocation of whaling from five-man row-boats, in the stormy seas off the southern tip of the Americas, but on the other a whopping and sudden change in fortune for the kid. Reluctantly he's let on board, and lo and behold before the end he's being far too good at what he's supposed to be doing.
When some cavalry marauder types wipe out his community, Esteban is left with just the one hope – he had been told by his mother before then that the captain of the 'Leviathan', a whaling ship, would see him right.
Part one of five, in a slightly unlikely-seeming historical fiction graphic novel.
