Rockwell Ken illustrated this 1930 edition of "Moby-Dick, or The Whale" by Herman Melville.
Inspired by the movie "In the Heart of the Sea," we'll bring you a few facts about whaling. ?
In early 1841, at age 21, Herman Melville shipped out on a voyage to the Pacific Ocean aboard the whaler Acushnet. He deserted in the Marquesas Islands after only 18 months and then served briefly on other ships. His time at sea supplied the background for his novel "Moby-Dick, or The Whale," published in 1851.
The first American edition of Moby-Dick sold poorly and netted Melville only $556.37. "In the Heart of the Sea" is based on a book by Nathaniel Philbrick by the same name. It's the story of the Essex, the Nantucket ship that was sunk by a sperm whale in 1820 and served as the inspiration Melville's novel.
