Grantee's perilous voyage and mournful widows

A garbled poem-like piece chronicles Grantee sailing from China to America with a crowd in Frisco cheering the arrival. It references Simon Cameron aged 80 and Mary Oliver aged 40, noting widows mourn the inhumanity that reduces thousands to countable grief.
