Shame on me - sorry, it likely does have to do with Mary. This had also been my instant off-the-top-of-my-head answer, but when double-checking I got confused by the wording of the LincolnLog, which I checked first, mentioning only Abraham Lincoln, and I began to think my memory had it confused with another incident. Now I checked some further books and have to correct (and was correct initially...):
I'm sorry - this does have to do with Mary, too.

The Globe (which the Lincolns were aboard during their 1848 trip in which they visited Niagara Falls, traveled the Great Lakes, etc.).
