Description
1832 Moby Dick Inspiration Melville Morrell Narrative of Four Voyages Shipwrecks



Benjamin Morrell was a 19th-century American sailor who is primarily remembered for his book ‘A Narrative of Four Voyages’. This book described his sea adventures, his discoveries, and shipwrecks.



And while much of his work is disputed, one such thing that is not is that Herman Melville is thought to have based themes of his book ‘Moby Dick’. As a child, Melville saw Morrell on one of his voyage tours and was fascinated by the stories.
