== Captains of the Pequod ==

>...Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod...

Shouldn't it be mentioned here that she ship has three captains and not just a single one? [[Special:Contributions/2A01:599:107:1849:64AB:13FF:FEB6:BFA9|2A01:599:107:1849:64AB:13FF:FEB6:BFA9]] ([[User talk:2A01:599:107:1849:64AB:13FF:FEB6:BFA9|talk]]) 21:10, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

== Wrong description of the route they took ==

"Ahab then turns southwest and sails along the coast of South America. But instead of rounding Cape Horn at its tip, he heads northeast towards the equatorial Pacific Ocean to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa and into the Indian Ocean."

It says here they went northeast towards the equatorial pacific ocean. It should say they went towards the equatorial ATLANTIC ocean. [[Special:Contributions/80.114.163.41|80.114.163.41]] ([[User talk:80.114.163.41|talk]]) 16:42, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
