From Wikipedia.
Born August 29, 1809 died October 7, 1894.
American physician, poet, professor, lecturer and author.
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and educated at Harvard College. After graduation from Harvard in 1829, he briefly studied law before turning his attention to medicine.
He wrote poetry from an early age and his "Old Ironsides" poem, published in 1830, was influential in the eventual preservation of the USS Constitution. This was probably the 1927-1931 restoration of the ship.
