The plot is simple: The Pequod , commanded by peg-legged Captain Ahab, sets out on a whaling voyage. While the crew, a mixture of nationalities, races, and religions, diligently hunts whales, Ahab stays below deck, emerging only to announce that the real purpose of the trip is to kill Moby-Dick, the white sperm whale that tore off his right leg.
