Walt Whitman is reffering to Abraham Lincoln, who in his eyes is basically his hero. He believed that Abraham changed the whole world and in the poem making him sound like a true hero even though he was murdered and killed. Walt Whitman must have thought he was a great man and totally worth writing a poem about.
I think that Walt Whitman's captain is Abraham Lincoln. It make me fell sad when he uses the lines like, "My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still." Also, when he says the lines,"But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead," represents the time when Abraham Lincoln was murdered and you can fell like he is sad when he was killed.
