Whaling shipwreck linked to ‘Moby-Dick’ discovered
11th February 2011
The ship, which struck a reef and foundered in 1823, was skippered by Captain George Pollard Jr.
Two years earlier, Pollard commanded another ship that was rammed by a whale and sank in the South Pacific in a saga immortalised in Melville’s 1851 novel “Moby-Dick.”
