Description

The narrator, Ishmael, survives the destruction of the Pequod, floating on Queequeg’s coffin-turned-life-buoy. In the epilogue, he recounts the final fate of the ship and crew, fulfilling the biblical quote that opens the epilogue. His survival is both miraculous and ironic, as he is the sole witness to a tragedy that consumed all others.
