Paul Cuffe: His Purpose, Partners and Properties Saturday, February 27, 2:00 p.m. via Zoom If the name Paul Cuffe is unfamiliar to you, the virtual library discussion with authors David Cole and Betty Slade about their work, Paul Cuffe: His Purpose, Partners and Properties will shine a light on this South Coast mariner, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Cuffe, a man born on Cuttyhunk Island in 1759 to a formerly enslaved West African father and Wampanoag mother, built a business empire that included shipping along the Atlantic coast and shipbuilding in Westport, Massachusetts. Join the Mattapoisett Free Public Library and moderator Corey Nuffer on Saturday, February 27th at 2 p.m. for a glimpse of this fascinating man from the eyes of Cole and Slade.
