The Pequod

I took this picture in Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight. Remember when I blogged about Moby Dick's Revenge? Well, right next to Moby Dick, you could see the Pequod. Or, as they called it, Captain Ahab's Pequod. As for the infamous whale, the legendary whaling ship was rather inaccurate if you compared it to its description in the novel, but it was cool to see the ship that fascinated me nearly as much as Ahab's nemesis when I was a child. And if nothing else, it was Wolfie's first introduction to this classic.
