It is not by сЬадсе that both Captain Ahab and First Mate Starbuck of the ill-fated "Pequod" (in Melville's famous novel "Moby Dick'3) were Nantucket men. Nothing could have seemed more likely to Melville's readers, and besides, one Captain George Pollard of Nantucket did lose a ship to an enraged sperm whale. Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the world, its Main Street is lined with elegant 19th-century homes and the Whaling Museum offers a whaling boat among other exhibits, Inhabitant: Nantucketer.
