A "Nantucket Sleighride" was the result of harpooning a whale. The ship subsequently was dragged behind the whale by a line running from the harpoon to the ship. The Nantucket Sleighride would continue until the whale died, the line broke, or the ship sank.
After harpooning the whale, the good ship "Alabaster" was taken on a Nantucket Sleighride for nearly an hour.
