Ahab by Sea
Where it all began.
First of all, who is Ahab?
Captain Ahab is a fictional character in the epic novel, Moby-Dick, written by Herman Melville. Ahab is the captain of the whaling ship Pequod, whose life becomes consumed by an all-encompassing desire for vengeance against Moby Dick, a massive and enigmatic white whale. During a voyage, the whale tore off Ahab’s leg, igniting a fierce determination to risk everything to settle the score. Ahab’s story shows the nature of becoming completely obsessed beyond rationalization which in the end, became his demise. He exhausted all of his efforts along with the crew of men that sailed out to sea searching for the mysterious and elusive Moby Dick.
