Not exactly about a particular event, but might provide new material for those looking for same
"Bygone Ballads of Maine Vol 1- Songs of Ships & Sailors" includes tunes, lyrics and background info for 160+ seafaring songs gathered from archives and journals here in Maine pre-1950. Just released through Castlebay.net or from Loomis House press. We have a facebook page as well- "Bygone Ballads of Maine".
