Summary: "The Cruise of the Catalpa: A Poem by John Breslin" is a historical poem written in the late 19th century. It tells the true story of the daring rescue of Fenian prisoners from Fremantle, Australia, highlighting themes of freedom, loyalty, and national identity. Breslin, who is noted as the chief of the rescuers, captures the excitement and peril of this audacious mission in a narrative that intertwines his own Irish heritage with the broader struggle against British oppression. The poem chronicles the journey of the ship "Catalpa" and its crew as they set out to liberate Irish political prisoners.

Through lively verses, the poem conveys the hope and determination of those involved in the rescue, celebrating their triumph over adversity as they navigate towards freedom.
