∙ 15y agoMoby Dick is a fictional sperm whale but was based on tales of aggresive sperm whales encountered by whalers, in particular one called Mocha Dick, and stories of whales that had attacked whaling vessels, such as the whaling bark Essex which was sunk by a sperm whale (possibly Mocha Dick) in 1820.

∙ 12y agoThough in the movie, and book (as in many forms of entertainment) the size and tenacity of this historic whale was certainly exaggerated, Moby Dick was an albino sperm whale in the 1800s that's real name was "Mocha Dick" named after the island of Mocha. The Author Herman Melville, based his novel on this sperm whale as it had stirred up a lot of commotion around the island reportedly killing many sailors and damaging several boats.
