Eric J. Dolan concludes as Barnard and his men were finally rescued after a grueling year and a half by two Britishwhaling ships. Barnard returned to New York bankrupt, but a legal battle over the Nanina eventually resulted in American compensation while D'Aranda was left with nothing. Encouraged by friends, Barnard published his harrowing account in 1829. Dolan emphasizes the significance of focusing on "average people" whose experiences are often lost to history, recreating the endurance of these mariners through journals and logs. (4)
