Have you read Moby Dick?

Well, Peter Coffin is the innkeeper who unites Ishmael with Queequeg, where they have to share a room and a bed, in Herman Melville's literary masterpiece Moby Dick.It is a fascinating family - the book on the other hand- is a list of names....interesting to those members of this family.
