Famous Fictional Captains

Here’s a quick look at two adventurous ship Captain straight from the pages of fiction.

Captain Ahab. Brought to life by Herman Miller in his 1851 classic Moby Dick, Ahab captained the whaling ship Pequod as it sailed on a voyage for revenge in search of the elusive white whale. In a previous journey, Ahab lost his leg to Moby Dick and wore a prosthetic made of whale bone. Blinded by his hatred and thirst for vengeance, Ahab’s reckless abandonment of any and all caution seal his rather unfortunate fate. The character has been immortalized in popular culture and has even served as inspiration for other notable characters, such as J. M. Barrie’s Captain Hook.

Captain Nemo. A creation of Jules Verne, Captain Nemo (also known as Prince Dakkar) made his first appearance in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and then again in The Mysterious Island (1874). Verne used the character a third time in his 1882 play Journey Through the Impossible, although it was merely a brief cameo. Since his initial publications, Captain Nemo has appeared in multiple adaptations of Verne’s novels, but he’s also been borrowed by other authors in their own works, like Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Philip José Farmer’s The Other Log of Phileas Fogg. The mysterious captain of The Nautilus, a submarine that roams the depths of the sea, Nemo is a scientific genius fuelled by vengeance and hatred of imperialism.
