"Frederick” the sperm whale is a tribute to Frederick Myrick (1808-1862) of Nantucket, MA.  Myrick is a well known early scrimshaw artist who signed and dated his carvings. He carved 37 known sperm whale teeth on one whaling voyage on the ship Susan of Nantucket between 1826-1829.  Myrick is the earliest shrimshander known to both sign and date his work; as a result, his pieces have become highly prized by collectors and museums alike.
