L2L Moby Dick (pt. VI)

Moby Dick; or, The Whale (pt. VI)

Herman Melville

Sailing ships were hives of industry, each man doing long and difficult work in order to keep the ship afloat and find the whales that will profit them. What happens when the captain focuses on one whale and one whale only in the vast southern seas? This week, Leigh, P. T. and Dr. C continue in Listening to Literature’s “Reading Allowed” series as Captain Ahab and his crew swear oaths over spirited draughts to seek the White Whale.
