 Auld was incensed by this. He pulled him out of the Gardner shipyard and let him work on the Price shipyard where he was a foreman. There, Frederick Douglass learned the skill of caulker, and he went quickly from apprentice to journeyman, earned a lot of money for that time, $9 a week. And he gave that over to Hugh Auld. And he negotiated with Auld that he wanted to go out on his own.
