The real whaler behind Moby-Dick (1820)

The Essex was a Nantucket whaler, launched in 1799 and reckoned a lucky ship. On 20 November 1820, in one of the remotest reaches of the Pacific, a large sperm whale rammed her twice and sank her. Of the twenty men who got away in three open boats, eight survived. The first mate published his account; a young whaleman named Herman Melville read it at sea, and in 1851 Moby-Dick was born.
Más detalles sobre la maqueta

In November 1820, the sinking of the whaling ship Essex, along with the survival of part of her crew, thrilled and moved the US public. The year before she had set sail from Nantucket on a new whaling campaign that was scheduled to last two and a half years, sailing the South Pacific.


Captained by George Pollard, the whaling ship Essex was attacked by a large sperm whale, which rammed the ship on various occasions, finally sinking her, some 2,000 nautical miles from the South American coast. Of the 21 crew members only 8 survived.


Herman Melville was inspired by this tragedy to write Moby Dick, one of the masterpieces of world literature. The title of the book is taken from the name given to an actual whale, "Mocha Dick", sighted in the 19th century close to Mocha Island, off the central coast of Chile.
