We do not know a lot about Crispus Attucks.
There is little information about his life.
•Born about 1723 in Massachusetts Colony.
• Son of an African father and possibly a Native American Indian mother.
•Attucks means ‘deer’ in Natick Indian language.
We know that when he was in his 20s, Attucks was a slave.
He lived with his master, Deacon William Brown, in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Some historians believe that Attucks earned money by trading horses and cattle.
He saved enough to pay for his freedom, but Brown refused to accept payment.
Many believe Crispus Attucks ran away for his freedom.
This fugitive slave notice appeared October 2, 1750 in The Boston Gazette:
10 Pound Reward
For Return of Run Away Slave
Ran away from his master William Brown of Framingham on
the 30th of Sept. last a mulatto fellow about 27 years of age,
named Crispus, 6 feet and 2 inches high, short curl'd hair,
his knees nearer together than common; and had on a light
colour'd beaver skin coat, plain new buckskin breeches, blue yarn
stockings and a checked woolen shirt.
Whoever shall take up said runaway and convey him to his
aforesaid master shall have 10 pounds old tenor reward,
and all necessary charges paid. And all masters of
vessels and others are hereby cautioned against
concealing or carrying off said servant on penalty
of law.
Possibly, he went to Nantucket Island.
Historians believe that Attucks ran away and worked as a ropemaker
...and later, he possibly became a sailor.

Ambergris was whaling’s most valuable prize. A waxy substance from a sperm whale’s intestines, it was occasionally found
in whales’ stomachs but more commonly floating on the sea or washed up on shore. Some pieces weighed several hundred
pounds. Perfume makers used it to prolong scents.
Why whales produce ambergris remains unknown. It may coat indigestible fragments, such as pieces of squid beaks, to
protect a whale’s intestines. Or it may be the whale’s equivalent of human gallstones.
