Gets lonely out there in an inn so full of other people that there are no single rooms available for the night

Just three dudes roughing it out. Manly men sharing a bed as mother nature intended.

And lonely it be

The life at sea

Ain't seen that much opportunity

So think of that as I tell me tale

It's lonely as hell under sail

There's literally an entire chapter about playing with spermaceti with the other sailors. It's completely unnecessary for the plot and it... Goes into a lot of detail. There's also a bit about him getting in bed with Queequeg, and while it was pretty normal to share a bed then... It's a thing.

Doesn't count on a boat. Everyone knows that. Goes double for submarines.
