Kendall-
With regard to the Cushing incident during the Civil War in the 2nd verse:
In the Civil War, in '63,
The Rebels made a play,
From the tower we tracked the Cushing,
As she fled through Casco Bay.
Of course there is much more intriguing history that I was unable to cram into this song.
Cheerily,
Charley Noble
