Everyome knows of the legendary story of Moby Dick from Herman Melville’s novel written bacn in 1951. Its based loosely off real events during the whaling years of the 1800s, particularly one vessel’s encounter with a sperm whale gone wring. And, even more interestingly, the whale of the story, Moby Dick himself, is inspired after a real white whale of the era, the Legendarh Mocha Dick.
