“There she blows! – there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick!”
That was the first quote I thought of from Melville’s Moby Dick to illustrate the toilet of The Cheynes IV whaling ship on display at Whale World Albany, but I came upon a better, though less well known one.
“It smells like the left wing of the day of judgment!”
(Herman Melville, Moby Dick)
Quite surprising to see the toilet (or head) on display. I assumed it would not be in use, but why then the rubbish bin in the corner? I have been looking for another in this category. The toilet at the Swan Inn and the cactus planter were looking a little lonely.

If I’m not mistaken there’s a kind of David Cronenberg effect happening on those tiles, tantalisingly just out of sight behind the bog.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Troyboy had sniffed that seat.

…yep this sets up a Toilet Triptych from the look of it! You can close your eyes and taste that salty rusting air and a hint of decaying whale. I notice theres no copy of the Sunday Times on the floor to wipe your arse with!!
