Letter writing and journalistic contributions are correct, but not sure about connection to Lincoln in Springfield, even though of that era.

Yeoman did travel a bit, but in Europe and the U.S., not in the Navy per se -- but did use ships and boats in parts of his travels.

Hint: Best known for contributions to the land, not water.
