Owen Chase was an American sailor and writer.
Chase became famous after publishing his detailed account of how a whaling ship, on which he was first mate captain, rammed and sank a sperm whale. The captain and crew spent three months at sea in open boats. Of the twenty crew members, eight survived when they managed to reach land.
This book, published in 1821, inspired the writer Herman Melville to write his famous novel Moby Dick.
