N 41° 35.A[B+1]C W 71° 16.DEF


Herman Melville was born on August C, 1819 and died on September 28, 189B.

Melville’s formal education as a child ended abruptly after his father died in 18A2, as this left the family in financial straits.

In 184E, Melville signed aboard the whaler Acushnet for his first whaling voyage but jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands.

In August 18D0, Melville moved his growing family to Arrowhead, a farm in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where he established a profound but short-lived friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne, to whom he dedicated Moby-Dick, which was later published in 18F1.
