I really didn't understand this reference, but I wasn't sure that peer review was the place to ask....what is "Comstock and the Globe"?

Well, no atch, you were right the first time.
It was an allusion to the most notorious sea-going mutiny story that'll still not be in the EG once this one of yours goes in.
The Globe was a whaler out of Nantucket in 1830-something. It was violently commandeered by Samuel Comstock. Blues Shark, me and Florida Sailor have all talked about doing it, but nobody has yet.
