Motorists in Liege, Belgium were stunned to see a
sperm whale being transported on a flatbed truck,
The whale which appeared to be smiling was
being delivered to Liège Theatre as part of the
stage dressing for their presentation of Herman
Melville's classic whale tale Moby Dick.
The theatre posted an image on Facebook with
the caption:
"If you're in the neighbourhood come take a
look at this strange delivery... A whale in a
theatre, really?!"
Melville's 1851 literary classic is narrated by a
sailor called Ishmael and tells the story of the
obsessive quest of Captain Ahab for revenge on
Moby Dick, a white whale which on a previous
voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg
at the knee.
