Description

The Rachel is a whaling ship searching for its lost whaleboats, one of which carries the captain’s young son. Its encounter with the Pequod is deeply tragic—Ahab refuses to help, consumed by his own quest. The Rachel becomes a symbol of paternal love and loss, echoing the biblical Rachel weeping for her children, and foreshadows the Pequod’s own destruction.
