The Admiral is the name given to the insane man who was evicted from Boeing's property line. He and his wife were poverty stricken and living in a shack that was located on property where the company hoped to build a sand-blast facility. The admiral becomes the main subject in the only poem Hugo ever wrote that was inspired by a work related incident.
