A gold coin, or doubloon. He nails it to the mast. Ahab is the one to actually see Moby-Dick first, so he claims the doubloon for himself.
Captain Ahab offers a doubloon—a valuable gold coin—to the first man who spots the white whale, Moby Dick. This serves as an incentive to motivate the crew in their pursuit of the elusive whale.

The name of Captain Ahab's first mate was Starbuck. Which is where Starbucks got their name for their coffee.
yes. the first line in the story is Call me Ishmael. so his name is Ishmael * This answer is wrong. Ishmael is the narrator. Ahab isn't the narrator. His first name isn't mentioned.

There was no "plot" to assassinate Ahab. However, Starbuck, Ahab's first mate, does contemplate killing Captain Ahab with a gun he finds on his way to speak to the Captain. He wrestles with the decision for a moment reasoning that killing Ahab may save the lives of his crew. However, he ends up making the morally sound decision (as is his nature) and does not kill Ahab.
Ahab was the captain of the Pequod, the whaling ship in Moby Dick. The crew was simply the crew. Interesting aside: the coffee chain Starbuck's, was named after Capt. Ahab's First Officer.
Captain Ahab shared a cabin with Starbuck, who was the first mate on the ship. Starbuck was a steadfast and moral character who often clashed with Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the white whale, Moby Dick.
Well captain Ahab said "Who ever spott's Moby Dick first gets this Golden coin" so it would be, a golden coin that he put it on the wall but at the end no-one ended up with the coin because they all ended up dying.The only one that survived was Ishmael.
