It sounds like a joke, but it's the truth.
(And I'd like to add that if a ship I am on is ever stove by a whale, I will take my chances and sail to the nearest island that can support life, even if it might have cannibals on it. Better to go and find out that there aren't any there than to sail around in a whale boat living on hardtack and water for days on end before being forced to resort to cannibalism or die when the food inevitably runs out. Besides, I hear the islands are nice this time of year.)
