The Sippican Historical Society will be showing Moby Dick on Friday, October 9 at the Marion Music Hall at 7:00 pm. We will be showing the 1956 film starring Gregory Peck and Richard Basehart. The movie is based on Herman Melville’s book, which was originally published in 1851. Ishmael, the narrator, begins the story in New Bedford when he joins the whaling ship, Pequod, whose captain Ahab begins his self-destructive obsession to hunt and kill the white whale, Moby Dick. After the movie, David Pierce will lead a discussion about not only the movie, but also about this very important era of our local history. We hope to see you there. The movie is free and open to the public.
