Yes, I agree with the previous answers, but I also think the the "mother and her baby" is another reference to the big Cutty Sark and the baby Gypsy Moth, right outside the Naval College of War.
Incidentally, the Cutty Sark has just been extremely badly damaged by fire, possibly started deliberately. It made me think of this song again, after many years.
