In the film, Herman Melville himself interviews Nickerson, a survivor of the Essex, and eventually uses his tale as the starting point for his novel Moby Dick. In reality, while it's true that the sinking of the Essex inspired Melville (in particular Owen Chase's account of the events), Nickerson wrote down his memoirs for a minor writer, who never used them. The manuscript surfaced in someone's attic in 1960, and was published in 1984. There is no account of Nickerson ever meeting Melville or interacting with him. Melville did, however, meet George Pollard in 1852.
