And I seem to recall that Ishmail was not immediately happy about
cohabiting with Queequeg.

And bundling boards! Remember those?

Actually, historically when a traveler stayed at an inn it
was likely that he (women didn't travel and stay in inns)
would have to share a bed with up to 7 others. In
Fredericksburg, VA (where I now live) one inn boasted that a
guest would not have to share a bed with more than four
others. Pretty good deal in those revolutionary days, and
for years beyond the Revolution.

I've seen the same argument made about Lincoln.
But before central heating, men often shared beds simply for
the warmth.

certainly
not in others, before people jump in to protest!).
