At the corner of Centre St. and Broad St.the red-shingled house where Pollard lived became a gift shop. Pollard commanded the Essex that was rammed by a whale and sunk. He spent 93 days at sea having to eat some of his mates.
The Essex was an American whaleship from Nantucket, Massachusetts. The ship, captained by George Pollard, Jr., was widely known for being attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in the southern Pacific Ocean in 1820 – an incident that served as inspiration for Herman Melville's 1851 novel, Moby-Dick.
