When Ahab leaves the deck of the Samuel Enderby, and half-jumps back onto the deck of the Pequod, he accidentally splinters his leg, forcing him to ask the ships carpenter to make a new one out of the remaining jaw-bone of one of the recently captured sperm whales. Ishmael reveals what he learned later about Ahab: that his unwillingness to see anyone at the beginning of the voyage was derived not just from his quest for the white whale, but from his embarrassment at a previous injury sustained while wearing his false leg. In that injury, the leg slipped and injured Ahab in the groinand Ahab began cursing the ivory leg as an extension of the cruel animal, Moby Dick, who took away Ahabs real leg in the first place.

@Seabreem We are Fishmongers. 100 % of our Wild fish is sourced straight off the boats. When fish lands, all hands on deck join in to sort, fillet, and pack all orders on time for our courier to pick up. We are usually too busy to answer the phone, and fault of outsourcing this service in India :) ... We made the choice to simply cut off our neglected phone lines.
