Curiously, I was told a different story of his passing. Old Stormalog never died – instead, one day he decided to leave the sea and set off, walking west with an oar over his shoulder. When he came to a place where the people did not recognize what the oar was, that was where he would retire.
The steamboat ending is kind of interesting, but I admit it feels a lot like someone decided to graft on the John Henry story, and while that’s a great story, it feels like a bad mismatch.
That said,, let me throw out some others. I’ll point to < href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Magarac">Joe Magarac (Or Joe McGarrick, depending who claims him), man of steel and patron of the Pittsburgh steelworkers. Also to < href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Fink">Mike Fink, half horse, half alligator, a three feather man and king of the mighty Mississippi.

That is awesome – I’ve heard and read a lot of American Tall Tales, but never heard of AB Stormalong, which is crazy seeing as I’m very interested in sailing. =P

Magarac and Fink are great too. My second favorite, after Stormalong, is Febold Feboldson, the amazingly powerful… farmer.
