But the sea hunters are about to find out that the main goal of their ship's captain, Ahab, is not whale oil and spermaceti oil. His heart is burning with the fire of vengeance. He is hunting for the legendary and dangerous albino whale Moby Dick, who deprived Ahab of a leg on one of his previous voyages.
