Which type is the big Squid in Moby-Dick?

"There she blows!-there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Mo-no, no, sorry, it's a squid, never mind. Pissant mile-wide squid. Sorry about that."

"There she blows!-there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Mo-oop, no, it's a humpback. Just a white humpback. My bad. Just furlongs of bad from Ol' Ahab. Sorry."

"There she blows!-there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick! Moby! Moby the irritating bald DJ! Shet mah mouth! Lower the boats!"

As for Melville's whaling route, he sailed on a whaler called the Acushnet. The most up-to-date research on this must be the first volume of Hershel Parker's biography Herman Melville (1819-1851), published in 1996.

Moby,

Terrific sleuthing. Let us know what you find.
