- ‘This is the end of the whaleroad and the whale’ • Lowell: "the whale / Who spewed Nantucket bones on the thrashed swell ... To send the Pequod packing off to hell"
- ‘Whenever winds are moving and their breath’ • Lowell: "The Pequod's sea wings, beating landward, fall / Headlong and break on our Atlantic wall"
- ‘A brackish reach of shoal off Madaket’ • Lowell: "Where the heel-headed dogfish barks its nose / on Ahab's void and forehead; and the name / Is blocked in yellow chalk."
- The Quaker Graveyard in Nantucket • Lowell references Moby Dick several times throughout the seven poems
