I really hope they find more useful and eloquent things to teach than my off the cuff internet rambling.

Are you talking about the one who kept his money in a bucket, or George Pollard, master of the whaling vessel Essex that was sunk by an apparently vengeful bull sperm whale in the Pacific, inspiring Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick? History doesn't record where Captain Pollard kept all his money.
