In which printing does the archive hold A Ballad of the French Fleet?

This answer was composed from the records listed beneath it, and from nothing else. Every statement carries the identifier of the record that supports it; every identifier was verified against the retrieved set before this page existed; and the records are named so the answer can be checked against them.

The archive's own telling of A Ballad of the French Fleet is the one printed in Samuel Adams Drake (1884), as the record's own telling records. urn:lemay:boston:entity:a-ballad-of-the-french-fleet

The record names the printing its telling comes from. It is not a claim that the tale was first printed there. urn:lemay:boston:entity:a-ballad-of-the-french-fleet
