"chase, Ahab leaves Starbuck in charge of the ""Pequod"". Moby Dick smashes the three boats that seek him into splinters and tangles their lines. Ahab is rescued, but his ivory leg and Fedallah are lost. Starbuck begs Ahab to desist, but Ahab vows to slay the white whale, even if he would have to dive through the globe itself to get his revenge. On the third day of the chase, Ahab sights Moby Dick at noon, and sharks appear, as well. Ahab lowers his boat for a final time, leaving Starbuck again on board. Moby Dick breaches and destroys two"

Peleg refers to Ahab respectfully as a ""grand, ungodly, god-like man"" but he is also nicknamed ""Old Thunder"". According to Leon Howard, ""Ahab is a Shakespearean tragic hero, created according to the Coleridgean formula."" The creation of Ahab, who apparently does not derive from any captain Melville sailed under, was heavily influenced by the observation in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's lecture on ""Hamlet"" that ""one of Shakespeare's modes of creating characters is to conceive any one intellectual or moral faculty in ""morbid"" excess,"

"George Pollard Jr. George Pollard Jr. (1791–1870) was the captain of the whalers ""Essex"" and ""Two Brothers"", both of which sank. Pollard's life, including his encounter with the sperm whale that sank ""Essex"", served as inspiration for Captain Ahab, the whale-obsessed character in Herman Melville's ""Moby-Dick"". George Pollard was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, the son of Tamar (Bunker) and George Pollard, a ship's captain, at a time when the principal industry there was hunting sperm whales to harvest the oil contained in their blubber and spermaceti. By the time he was 23 he had served on the ""Essex"" for four"

Perhaps citing the latter, repeated comparisons are made between Leela and Captain Ahab of ""Moby-Dick"".

"None of the other ships has been completely destroyed because none of their captains shared Ahab's monomania; the fate of the ""Jeroboam"" reinforces the structural parallel between Ahab and his biblical namesake: ""Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him"" (I Kings 16:33). An early enthusiast for the Melville Revival, British author E. M. Forster, remarked in 1927: """"Moby-Dick"" is full of meanings: its meaning is a different problem.""
