The spout is the respiratory orifice of the cetacean known as the blowhole. It's one of the most famous features of the whale, if your knowledge of whale anatomy is limited to cartoons and emojis. Robert Lam: I became interested in this subject because I was reading a chapter in the Great American Whale Novel, Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
