Description
This map depicts Captain Ahab's voyage aboard the whaling ship Pequod in his obsessive pursuit of the white sperm whale, Moby Dick. It is inspired by the beautiful wind and current charts that began to be produced during the period. Although Moby-Dick is a book about the sea, it is just as much about life on land, and a large number of places are mentioned in the story-many of which are shown on the map. The whaling ship Pequod itself also appears, rendered with many details.
