In another universe, Queequeg is a woman, Ishmael is a harpooner, and the Great White Whale is a … dragon?

Somehow, I can’t quite picture this as a faithful adaptation, but it might be fun. Hat tip to Jason.

Follow along with our year long expedition into the real Moby Dick at Finding Melville’s Whale.
