    The Essex was the inspiration of the story Moby Dick.

    I guess the community picture has something to do with it. Shipwreck again?

    There was also a US Frigate by that name.

    One of my ancestors was aboard that ship. The Essex went down when rammed by a whale and was the stimulus for Moby Dick. I trying to stop the Leviathan that is coming, I feel like Captain Ahab. My ancestor, by the way, survived the Wreck of the Essex and died in a hurricane alter on.
