Published in 1851, Moby Dick was based in part on author Herman Melville’s own experiences on a whaleship. The novel tells the story of Ahab, the captain of a whaling vessel called The Peequod, who has a three-year mission to collect and sell the valuable oil of whales at the behest of the ship’s owners.
