Question
This object is described as a “red hell” whose plunge “into that blackness” is called the “material counterpart” of a man’s “monomaniac soul.” This object is lined with teeth and has small holes in its floor so that one character can maneuver it comfortably. This object, which is owned by Bildad and Peleg, has a (*) “gold coin from Quito” nailed into it by a character with a lightning-shaped scar on his face. This vessel encounters a similar one named the Rachel. In a prophecy told by Fedallah, this vessel is a hearse made from “American wood.” A character uses a coffin carved by a Polynesian harpooner named Queequeg to survive this ship’s destruction. For 10 points, name this whaling ship from Moby Dick. ■END■
