Frederick Douglass made three attempts to escape to freedom. On his third and final attempt, at age 20, he boarded a train wearing a sailor's uniform and carrying identification papers obtained from a free black seaman. He made his way to the safe house of abolitionist David Ruggles in New York.

Due to his fame after his autobiography was published, Frederick Douglass was sent on a speaking tour of Ireland by his antislavery friends, so as to prevent his recapture. While in Ireland and Britain, his British supporters collected enough money to buy his freedom from his owner.
