In Moby D by Herman Melville, we learn that the first reaction that Moby D has when he sees the Pequod appear for the first time is that the whale attacks the ship. As the Pequod approaches Moby D, he puts a crack in the boat with his flank. Moby D crashes into the ship to such an extent that he destroys it completely, and kills everyone in the ship except for Ishmael.
