Guy on a 19th century whaling ship got swallowed by a whale. Crew members killed the whale, cut the man out and he was still alive.

Was it a white whale named Richard? Was the guys first name Captain? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yup. From what I recall reading, he was never right in the head after that and his skin was permanently bleached. He ended up committing suicide.
