This spring Warner Brothers will release a movie about the whaleship Essex whose 1820 encounter with and sinking by a giant whale (and the crew's subsequent survival under horrific conditions) supposedly formed the basis for Moby Dick. While computer-generated imagery can duplicate almost anything these days, I doubt it created the whaleship shown in this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9IdfGWfbNYI Which leads me to ask -- anybody recognize the ship??
