MOBY-DICK 6: THE STREET

"...many of whom yet carry on their bones unholy flesh..."
—from chapter 6 of Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, "The Street"

---

New Bedford is a meeting ground for the people of the world. Men and women, Yankees and savages, "town-bred" dandies and those "country-bred." All in all, Ishmael sees "New Bedford [as] a queer place."
