Moby Dick tells the story of Ishmael, who announces his intent to ship
aboard a whaling vessel. He has made several voyages as a sailor but
none as a whaler. He travels to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he
stays in a whalers' inn. Since the inn is rather full, he has to share a
bed with a harpooner from the South Pacific named Queequeg. At first
repulsed by Queequeg's strange habits and shocking appearance (Queequeg
is covered with tattoos), Ishmael eventually comes to appreciate the
man's generosity and kind spirit, and the two decide to seek work on a
whaling vessel together.
