In Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851), what is the name of the ship that Captain Ahab commands?

  1. The Pequod

  2. The Nantucket

  3. The Essex

  4. The Star of the East

The correct answer is: The Pequod

In Moby-Dick, the Pequod is the name of the ship that Captain Ahab commands. This is the only ship mentioned in the novel, as the other options (B The Nantucket, C: The Essex, D: The Star of the East) are either references to real historical ships or fictitious ones not mentioned in the book. The Pequod is a significant symbol in the novel as it represents the quest for revenge and destruction that consumes Ahab and his crew.
