Commodore Tucker's Bold Escape at Kennebec Fight
A Boston Globe tale recalls Commodore Tucker facing a British man of war near the Kennebec. With almost no defenses, he used a small vessel and a big gun to threaten capture, then fired a shot that loosened rigging and allowed his retreat. Mr Breck shows the Breck family Bible, over 200 years old, and papers including a New York Herald from April 15, 1865, with Lincoln and Seward assassination details.
