Moby Dick was a great white whale in the famous novel titled Moby Dick, written by Herman Melville between 1850 1853.
Moby Dick was a monster among monsters, the terror of the deep. Whalers had hunted him for years, and all had come off second-best in the battle. Captain Ahab was one of those who had encountered him, and lost. Moby Dick had won by a legone of Ahab’s.
As master of the Pequod, Ahab scours the oceans for his deadly eighty-ton enemy, and the log of his voyage makes up an epic of the sea thrilling, chilling, unforgettable.
