Answer:

harpooner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Queequeg is a fictional character in Melville´s famous novel. He is the first main character that the narrator, Ishmael, encounters. A friendship is quickly formed between the two, and even though Ishamel is a white sailor and Queequeg is a descendant of a South Sea chieftain, in their relations aboard the ship (Queequeg being a harpooner), Melville shows a marked sensibility to racial diversity and equality amongst different peoples.
