1851: "Moby Dick" is published

Some of us saw the movie first and others read the book.    No matter what, Moby Dick is a great read or movie.   It was written by Herman Melville and published on this day in 1851.    

The movie version is also great.   In 1956, a movie with Gregory Peck was released.   Many of us saw that version growing up.
