DescriptionSeaman's Protection Certificate issued to James Forten Dunbar on 12 July 1810 at Philadlphia Pa.jpg |
English: The 12 July 1810 protection certificate issued in Philadelphia identities the bearer as James Forten Dunbar, a “mulatto” (a person of mixed white and black ancestry) age ten, and height 4’ 7’’ inches tall. Dunbar was described as having black hair and yellow complexion. He had a small pox inoculation scar on his left arm and on his right shin the mark of a dog bite. Dunbar was born a “free man of color” in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His uncle, the renowned James Forten signed for, and made sure “Born Free” were included in the description. James Forten Dunbar attested the document by his X mark; it is unclear, if he ever became fully literate. Dunbar would spend most of his life as a sailor, aboard such naval vessels as the USS Constellation, USS Niagara, USS Brooklyn and the USS Tusacora. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
