...MABY Y
The story tells the adventures
of the wandering sailor Ishmael
and his voyage on the whaleship
Pequod, commanded by Captain
Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that
Ahab seeks one specific whale,
Moby Dick, a white sperm whale
of tremendous size and ferocity.
Comparatively few whaleships
know of Moby Dick, and fewer
yet have encountered him. In a
previous encounter, the whale
destroyed Ahab's boat and bit
off his leg. Ahab intends to
take revenge.
