Seems to me there was a long ballad about the history of the old steam tug in Seattle named the Arthur Foss. Yep, it's on the VICTORY SINGS AT SEA CD, © 1989, and is called "A Hundred Years Ago" as composed by Kotta & Widmann; they used the traditional tune from the shanty "A Hundred years Ago."
Cheerily,
