Pip, an African-American youth from Tolland County, Connecticut, is referred to as "Alabama Boy. " He is the least significant member of the Pequod's crew and serves as a ship-keeper due to his slight build. Despite his tender-hearted nature, he has a bright personality. Pip is temporarily assigned to Stubb's whaleboat but causes trouble by jumping overboard twice, leading others to see him as "mad. " Ishmael believes Pip's experiences are prophetic, and Ahab later shows sympathy toward him.
