The piece recounts Paul Boyton's prank with a dummy torpedo against the British ship Garnet in New York Harbor and recalls David Bushnell's 1776 torpedo boat used by Lee against the Eagle.

It notes a safety improvement for future use and briefly mentions an ancient statue shipped to Philadelphia from Syria.
