I learned Pete Seger’s cover of this song over Wildwood Flower back in college and had forgotten about it. Thanks.. I’ll refresh this and put it back in the song list. Ruben James was a sailor who was medaled back in the Barbary Coast wars. They named the ship after him and later after the sinking was recommissioned. It was the rescue vessel named in the Sean Connery film, Hunt for Red October. Makes for good chatter for the audience when warming up to play the song. Thanks for sharing.
