The whale Moby Dick never actually dies; only captain Ahab, who has been chasing him, does. Just before Ahab drowns while still trying to stab the whale, he yells "From hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!". His obsession drives him to his death and still he does not manage to kill Moby Dick. Epic Fail.

It was First published in 1851 and the story seems to be that of the whaling ship "the Essex" Wich met its grisly end in 1820 so one can assume the story takes place around 1820. By the turn of the century the industry had changed significantly.
