Jacob Anderson, who was noted in port record upon departure from the U.S. as an 18-year-old African-American... Betcha a dollar that is not what's recorded in the port record.

It’s signed by a Jacob Anderson, who was noted in port record upon departure from the U.S. as an 18-year-old African-American, an ethnicity he shared with one in six American whalers by the 1850s. So now my hero, Queequeg is African-American???
