It was difficult for me as I was completely convinced that he actually was the carpenter's mate. I have to admit simply because of his skin color. There wasn't a single racist thought in me still at the time it was out of question for me that back in 1808 a white US-American is the subordinate of a black person. Of Course maybe I am not educated enough concerning how common that was. Anyway after being adressed as "boss" by Gibbs I concluded the truth but still with a "oh, really? Didn't expect that."-feeling.
